  • Everything about this rich black forest cake (Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte) is mouthwatering. Three light and fluffy layers of genoise sponge cake, similar to a roll cake, are soaked with a kirsch cherry liqueur, layered with sweet whipped cream, and covered in Kirsch-soaked cherries and chocolate shavings.

    Hi! gernan baker here. that was awesome. we turn our (sour) cherries into kind of "pudding" before we place it over the first layer of the sponge cake then spread a layer of the whipped cream over it. if you have enough pudding, you can repeat the same process for the second layer. if not enough, just spread the whipped cream on the second layer without cherries. by Pudding, i mean you boil the Juice from the cherries adding a tablespoon or a little bit more sugar; then add about 25-30 g. of cornstarch dissolved in a Tbsp. or 2 cold water and add to the juice that is simmering to make it thick. remove from the heat and add the cherries. return to the heat quickly just to homougenize. after removing from heat, add about 2 Tbsps. or more of the Kirschwasser. basically, that was correct what you did. usually, heat about 3/4 cup of water a tbsp. sugar bring to a boil (just enough to dissolve the sugar). remove from heat and add 2-4 Tbsps. of Kirschwasser (you can add more) to it. this is used for soaking the the sponge layers before filling the layers. the juice is used for making the pudding. the Kirschwasser (alcohol) aroma is what defines this cake.

    Finally! There are so many (english) tutorials of "traditional" black forest cake out there, and then they use regular sponge cake or don't mention the kirsch at all. But they are essential for this cake (there even is a law in germany for this 😂)! Your cakes design is very modern, we cut thinner cake layers and don't use drips (as you mentioned, but I like it). We also use a cooked cherry filling infused with kirsch and less sugar in the cream but this is fine I'd say. So, German pastry chef approved 👍

    I love black forest gateaux. Im going to make 2 for over christmas. If you cant get the Kirsch, and not being 100% authentic isnt a problem ,amaretto works really well as a substitute.
    Also, if you mix amaretto 30/70 with coke, you get an alcoholic drink that tastes identical to dr pepper, but with the bonus that if you drink enough of it you will have a very merry Christmas!

    It looks delicious! Just a hair short of being a "traditional " black forest cake.
    The way I learned it in Germany, the cherry juices are cooked with a little bit of cornstarch to thicken it, and then the cherries are added back in making sort of a cherry pudding. This is then spread directly onto the sponge, then whipped cream, then next layer of sponge.

    I use a product called Whip-it to stabilize the whipping cream. It doesn’t change the taste of the whipped cream and it never separates or falls. Some grocery stores carry it or you can order it from Walmart.

    This is the most unusual Schwarzwälder Cherry Cake I've ever seen. The original Cake (Torte) looks way different. But I suppose your version tastes quite good.
    Quick Tip to separate the baked dough into three equal pieces: Get a thin twine, lay it around and slowly pull the twine through the baked dough. Repeat. It will give you three perfectly cut pieces.
