Baking a Black Forest Cake requires a bit of work but the result is very well worth it!
This traditional and authentic recipe shows you step by step how to bake a German Black Forest Cake and decorate it.
First, bake the chocolate cake, then make the cream filling, add the cherry liquor to the cake layers, fill the cake between the layers with cherries and cream, lastly, decorate the cake in the traditional wey with chocolate shavings, cream and cherries.
Please don't mind the sound in the video. My microphone seems to be broken and sometimes creates static noises, so I had to switch to the backup microphone in some scenes.

@aubiiii Год назад

thank you for scraping the bowl so thoroughly i love when bakers do that in videos instead of leaving so much batter behind 🫣

@MyGermanRecipes Год назад

Even if you don't see me scrapping a bowl like that, you can be sure I do it when the camera is off. I often cut the video there so people don't get bored but I never let any batter go to waste :-)

What if I don't have kirsh in my country, can you suggest any other non alcoholic alternative

@NYSESTRA 3 года назад

@@mavishmazhar3024 I really can’t think of a non alcohol substitute for Kirschwasser. Keep in mind Kirsch is pungent not really sweet like some liqueurs or brandys.

@Le_Pete 2 года назад

@@mavishmazhar3024 you can leave it out, for even here in Germany not everyone likes it in there. But make sure you use sour cherries. Not the sweet ones. A few drops of bitter almond extract can somewhat imitate the Kirschwasser taste. But again, bitter almonds not the sweet ones!

@mimt5505 Год назад

I had made this delicious cake when I was younger. Everything was the same except we had melted chocolate over the cherries in the middle layer and cooled it in the frig. for about a hour or so when the chocolate was set up enough and brought the cake back out to finish the third layer with cherries and whip cream. Everyone raved about and still do to this day. I had made it a couple of times now as an adult and still get that was the best cake I had ever eaten. Making this beauty is a labor of love. I only make it for special occasions.

omg I love this channel! I've never really liked most american style cakes because I grew up having german/austrian cakes for every event and birthday. I'll definitely try to make some of these. A variation of black forest but made with raspberry is my absolute favourite, along with the austrian sachertorte.

I baked 2 cakes on Tuesday and put into the freezer. Did the first part of one cake on Wed night, then the final part on Thursday lunchtime, for a Thursday night dinner party. Then got the second cake ready for a baby shower on Saturday. Both cakes were just amazing and I had so many comments about how fresh and nice it tasted. A few comments were how much better it tasted than store bought ones. So now, I am very happy, so thank you Barbara x

This cake is my all time favourite cake and it's been years since I had a piece. You can't get this in Australia. Definitely going to try it out. Oh yes you were right by the way. The more liquid cake mix is a batter and the thicker mixes like for bread is dough. I saw youtube once where they had a couple of lengths of thin wood like chopsticks but a bit thicker that they arranged at the sides of the cake at the height they wanted to cut it. They used this as a guide to make it easier to cut the cake to the height they wanted it. .

Thank you SO much for this. My husband is from Germany and the Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte is something he really misses, along with good bread. We've ordered "Black Forest Cakes" from local bakers, but it's always just a typical American style chocolate cake with disturbingly sweet icing and some cherries on top. I read that dutch processed cocoa is key and I also ordered some expensive cherries soaked in brandy from france. The cake is now made and is marinating. I'm looking forward to trying it tomorrow. The entire process would likely have been a great cataclysm if I didn't stumble upon your extremely helpful video. Again, thank you!

My German Recipes I followed the recipe and my cake didn't rise 😞 going to try this again .

@MyGermanRecipes 3 года назад

So sorry to hear. It is very important to beat the eggs long enough like 20 minutes. Also, make sure the baking powder is mixed with the four and when you add the dry ingredients, make sure to be very careful. The air in the eggs must stay in there to only fold the dry ingredients in. I hope this time it will work! ❤️

@vanessakretzschmar4799 3 года назад

My German Recipes thank you for the tips. So I rewatched your video. I noticed I sifted my dry ingredients and you didn't. I am so used to sifting that i just did it! Immediately on the second batch, I didn't sift & I noticed a big difference in my dry ingredients and how my mixture mixed together. 25 minutes until I know how I did. 🤞🏼 fingers crossed the cake rises this time 😍

EDIT: day 2 - it came out looking just like the video, and it tasted amazing! Next time I'll try to source kirscenwasser or similar cherry liqueur, rather then the cherry cider sub I used today ( which still came out pretty nice).
