Baked this day before yesterday for my mom's 1st birthday in Heaven (31st July). She was a baker and her grandchildren looked forward to every birthdays with her cake. This year I had to bake without her supervision (I am not into baking). This cake comes out really good and my niece and nephews devoured it! God bless you all.
I taught Culinary Arts at the Governor's Academy for German, and am SO SO SO SO SO glad to see you using Kirsch. I can't imagine the whipped cream without it (and I say this as a lifelong non-drinker).
I am a huge fan of Black Forest cakes in fact I have it every birthday. I thought I wouldn't have had it this year , but now I can ask my parents to make it for me . Thank you so much John
I'm from Germany and just made a blackforest cake -Schwarzwälderkirschtorte- last weekend! We make it only a little different: cakes here are rather the 8inch 2 layer version and actually we bake one cake and cut it in2 or 3 layers. I didnt use fresh cherrys because you only have them a very short time in the year, we use sour cherrys in a glass and bring it to a boil with the juice and the starch, the kirsch comes in after the boiling. (And you can keep a little bit juice from the cherrys instead of water for the syrup.) And you said, the whipped cream will not be stable without the whole cherrys: in Germany we use a powder to stabalize cream, its made of one part powdered sugar and one part starch to put in to the cream before whipping (1 teaspoon per 200g cream). This way my cake was firm even 2 days later.
Danke Schon! I am attempting to recreate the cake we had in Triberg a few weeks ago. We managed to find Kirschewasser liquor. With preppy kitchens help and your pointers I am sure we can get this tasting authentic
@naziaahmad2396 I believe it means corn starch. I just made a black forest cake yesterday using many of the Preppy Kitchen's hints and the sour cherry filling the way the German person above described. I made the kirsch simple syrup for the cakes the way they described as well by using the cherry juice instead of water. I sweetened the whipped cream with icing sugar as the only sweetener and stabilizer. The cream is holding up and stable today and ready to eat soon!
Made this for my daughter...TONS of compliments!! Harder to make than it looks, but soooo worth the effort! One of the best tasting cakes I’ve ever had. Thanks John!

I'm an English teacher. Scales, in the plural, is the common usage of the word in the UK, when referring to weighing instruments. It is also the norm for British bakers to use kitchen scales; cups are imprecise. As is this sentence fragment, "scales when there is more than one"; it should be, "scales when there are more than one".
@Supr Eme "I am a Professor not a student" haha, sure you are! Even if this is true, it's irrelevant. Not to mention your error in a later comment. Smart ass karma! Edit to add your error(s): "Are you back at your Firm... Is it open?. I have depos this coming week! We'll checking on Monday..." I'll let you find them, since you're a professor, shouldn't be too hard for you.
Supr Eme Supr Eme how is that wrong? Lmao they meant John has multiple scales. “I love an American normalizing the use of scales and measurements in grams.” Said American is using multiple scales. It’s not grammatically incorrect. If you are a professor (which I sincerely doubt considering your username) then you need to be fired💀
I love the way they use the little bloopers in the video. One of my favorites is when the stand mixer ate one of the tea towels. Very funny and John was able to muster up a reassuring smile.
His little mischievous smile when he makes a mess is EVERYTHING to me. I just adore it. His smile in his creme puffs episode when he spills flour takes the cake! 😂🤣
I'm from Germany and this is so funny because this cake is really traditional here and my grandma makes it REALLY differently 😂😂 But I'm sure this version is really good too! Greetings from Germany :)
I’m german, too. And you are right, we make ist in an other way, gut this recipe sounds fine. I like more cherrys in the cake. But i live this Chanel, its amazing to watch.
Hey John I’m an eleven year old from Canada and I discovered your channel 2 years ago while I was looking for a vanilla cake and my mom said don’t watch videos I will help you but I disagreed because your videos were calm helpful and entertaining since then I have tried LOTS of your recipes and I just wanted to say thank you so much you have taught me everything thing I know about how to bake and cook. Also can you do an Indian recipe because I am currently craving Indian food and I want to know how to make a dish that’s Indian. Keep up the great work
I made this cake for my sisters bday. Everyone loved it! Its so light and refreshing and flavorful! Not to rich. I did make a cherry filling for the center, at my sisters request. But everything else i followed per the recipe and it was amazing!
I am making this cake for my Dad's 70th birthday in a few days. I'm freaking out because I've never even tasted a black forest cake, but it's his favorite. Wish me luck! Thanks for the video...this cake looks wonderful!
This is the prettiest most beautiful black forest cake i have seen - and i've seen many lol. I made a black forest roll cake one day for my husbands birthday because i did not have time to make the layer version. We ate it on our picnic at the beach in October - great memories.
The only reason I watch his videos, is because he brings positivity !! With taht damn smile !! His expressions, his jolly nature is what his videos are all about !! Love ya ! 💓
My mom made this cake for my birthday recently. She loves your videos. She added one additional element to this cake that turned out great. She soaked the cherries in the alcohol. It turned out delicious.
A trick that I learned from Natasha's Kitchen to stabilize the whipped cream is to add a little instant vanilla pudding mix. I add a heaping tablespoon per pint. This helps keep the structure and prevents the cream from 'weeping'. It's especially useful for cream pies.
Cream of Tartar has a bit of a tangy flavor. The instant pudding has a slight sweet and vanilla flavor. There's so little being used you're not changing the flavor profile at all.@@Buzzoit
Iam tryng to open up a store for cake.. i dont know iam scared of everything, my insecurities started when my dad hung up my called when i mention. All I asked was him to bless me. My dream is to have a store in a friendly neighbourhood.
I have some trust issues when it comes to baking - let's face it, there are many blogs with mediocre or bad recipes - but now I know you're the real deal. I don't even have to bake it to know this is só good! So far I just watched your videos for fun, and obviously because you're adorable, but I'm definitely going to make this! And then try all your other recipes :)
I love the idea of doing 6in cakes. Just enough to feed the family without tons of leftovers. This way I can make more smaller cakes!!!! Love your videos.
Yesterday was my husband’s birthday and I made him this cake for the first time following the recipe . It turned out great and looked beautiful, everyone loved it
It looks lovely! Black forest cake is one of my favorite! I make mine with a chocolate genoise sponge, cherries, kirsch, whipping cream, and my personal favorite...Sour cherry jam. It adds a sweet and sour cherry flavor that pairs so well with semisweet chocolate and whipped cream! You should give it a try!
I've baked this cake for my Husband's birthday. It was my first time baking a cake. I'm so glad that i tried your recipe and it turns out very delicious. Everyone loves it. Thank you so much for sharing this easy and yummy recipes ☺️👍
Its commendable how much beauty and perfection your each cake has. The best part is the way you keep smiling throughout the process❤️feels so good just by seeing the video. Also could u pls tell me what can be done to replace egg? I am a vegetarian.
Thank you John - I inquired some months back about possibly having your take on a Black Forest Cake. it doesn’t disappoint! My favorite cake, my favorite recipe! My birthdays from here on out won’t be store bought Black Forest Cake- They all will be made by me with your genius recipe.
No joke, literally woke up in the middle of the night (last night) and was craving black forest cake! Then, I see this in my suggestions. I'm going to take it as a sign. The universe works in mysterious ways! Thanks for sharing, can't wait to make it! 🖤🙏🏽
Just so Beautiful. I could watch u bake all day long if I could. This cake is the Business, I mean for real. Luv ur instruction, confidence, and humor. U r such a Great Teacher. I definitely want to try this. I have had it, and despite all the decorations, it is so light and smooth. Thank u John for ur patience in teaching us the business of cake and pie baking, oh not to forget the Muffins and Breads as well. Just gotta luv it. How gifted u r.
I like how you don't waste any ingredients. Like when you spoke about how to use your extra whites or the last little bit of flour from the pans. It's refreshing!
Thanks for the hair dryer tip. I tried to get my chocolate shavings like yours at the end but they came out like yours did before you used the hair dryer. I just gave up after trying 3 different tools to get those shavings. My Black Forest cake came out great nonetheless. By the by (lol)... I have very hot hands. Always have. So messing with chocolate like that usually does become a bit of a mess for me... 😳
When I watched your video I couldn’t wait to make though I did not expect to get the perfect cake but to my great surprise it was,! Absolutely delicious as you said. Thank you so much for this great recipe.
If someone had a forest theme for their wedding it would make a nice casual wedding cake or a groom's cake. That's a southern thing where they have two cakes. The traditional wedding cake and one called the groom's s cake
I made a chocolate raspberry for grooms cake .white with lemon 🍋 filling for 3 layers. It was very nice .red roses spiraling around the white cake with laurel and yew. Beautiful. I iced .. function my daughter inlaw decorated
I love watching him I always wonder what he is cooking or baking His desserts always makes me happy cause I change every sugar ingredients with diabetic sugar and I enjoy it Thank you Carmen VALENTIN Yonkers N.Y. Amen
I made it! I just wish I had trusted you about the syrup. It looked like so much and now I understand why! It needed just a touch more of cherry flavor. Thank you!!
WOW - You've outdone yourself with this one John! This has been my FAVORITE cake for as long as I can remember. Holidays, Birthdays, dinner parties....heck, I don't even need a 'reason' to eat Black Forest Cake 😋
Hi, John... This is my version of a fan letter. :) I came home from dialysis this evening to see this new video. I have been watching your shows throughout this crazy time we are having. 🍪 I am just a cookie maker, but I love to see creativity in action. I taught high ability elementary kids in the Indianapolis area for 40 years, so I appreciate your teaching skills and enthusiasm! Not to be grim, but I am also a cancer patient (2 kinds) and anytime I can find someone with a series that captures my attention... and heart... I am all about it. You have truly done me a great favor! Thanks for being such a gem. 💎 My best to you and your family. You deserve it! I will stay tuned. 👓
You mentioned that you had 2 kinds of cancer: (. That has to be extremely difficult. Have had family members that have had cancer but with everything going on right now that can be stressful. Glad you found his channel to watch. Anything positive can help. You weren't being grim, it's just reality and that can be depressing. Hope you're still able to get the care that you need for your cancer treatment. Hang in there!
he's like that one teacher that doesn't get mad whatsoever, reminds me of my math teacher but instead of giving me math assignments he gives me delicious recipes
Black forest cake is my favourite cake in the world, and I've only had the pleasure of having a REAL one once, on my 23th birthday. I can't afford the tools and ingredients necessary to prepare this cake correctly, but watching you cook made me so, so, so happy. :)
I discovered your channel right in the middle of quarantine and all I can say is Thank you so much for making my quarantine more bearable! You’re so amazing and I love your upbeat persona! ❤️
MY favorite cake ever is a black forest cake and have been making it for myself almost every year for my own birthday! This one looks so tall and gorgeous! Well done :))

Can I replace Kirsche with Black Forest liquid flavoring?
I mean you could also dress cook the liquor so that most of the alcohol leaves @@pingpingpingness30
John: "I love precision!"
Me: I love an American normalizing the use of kitchen scales and measurements in grams!!
You should check out Sugar Geek Show she always uses a scale and includes weight in ounces. sugargeekshow.com/recipe/death-by-chocolate-cake/
I'm an English teacher. Scales, in the plural, is the common usage of the word in the UK, when referring to weighing instruments.

I love the way they use the little bloopers in the video. One of my favorites is when the stand mixer ate one of the tea towels. Very funny and John was able to muster up a reassuring smile.
I don't think I've ever seen a part in John's videos where he wasn't smiling.
It’s infectious!
His little mischievous smile when he makes a mess is EVERYTHING to me. I just adore it. His smile in his creme puffs episode when he spills flour takes the cake! 😂🤣
He has the best smile!!! 😁🥰
That'll be the day we know he's not ok :)
Wow sir super recipe
I love the combination of chocolate and cherries. Black forest cake is one of my favorites. Scrumptious!
I just love how you have alternatives for anything that can go wrong, it helps a lot!!
Yes
I started to watch this channel. Really a delight with precise techniques and see John enjoying himself in his baking. Really nice.
I'm from Germany and this is so funny because this cake is really traditional here and my grandma makes it REALLY differently 😂😂
But I'm sure this version is really good too!
Greetings from Germany :)
G ermanyyy y
What really throws me off is how big the layers are... Like normally they're maybe a third of that
In Canada we do it different too. We make a cherry morello jelly with kirsch for between the layers.
Die gute alte Schwarzwälder-Kirschtorte🇩🇪🍒
I’m german, too. And you are right, we make ist in an other way, gut this recipe sounds fine. I like more cherrys in the cake. But i live this Chanel, its amazing to watch.
This is the blackforest cake I must bake and show my people and let them eat it. Thank you, John.
My favorite cake!!!! I love John’s smile. Makes me smile too.

John's THE go to guy for fantastic baking. So informative.
John, I’m so glad I found you. I live for your receipts, if we don’t have a curtain ingredient you always have an alternate.
Black Forest Cake, another delicious treat that is easy to make and is actually ready before people know it. Wonderful.
A trick that I learned from Natasha's Kitchen to stabilize the whipped cream is to add a little instant vanilla pudding mix. I add a heaping tablespoon per pint. This helps keep the structure and prevents the cream from 'weeping'. It's especially useful for cream pies.
Maybe ever a little cream of tarter?
Cream of Tartar has a bit of a tangy flavor.
The instant pudding has a slight sweet and vanilla flavor.
There's so little being used you're not changing the flavor profile at all.@@Buzzoit
I double up the cake for a 12inch cake ...turns out very well and very delicious..Thank You sir for the best recipe always
Just when I'm trying to lose a little weight!
Don't worry John, I would never *dessert* you.

I'm a cake decorator and I'm absolutely impressed by those layers. A little envious, too. Lol

Thanks a lot John. The recipe is splendorous. I made it and it tasted heavenly.
My constantly "ice cold dead zombie hands" are finally going to come in useful!
The second best thing about these videos are the recipes. The first is John's smile.
