Jarred rather than fresh cherries are my other trick, because they just work that much better with the cake.

While a traditional black forest cake will be topped with chocolate shavings, I am a lazy baker sometimes.and I just topped mine with a couple of fresh cherries.tho a little extra whipped cream wouldn't hurt this if I do say so myself.This gateau is the most German of all cakes: Black Forest Cake! My idea of the perfect version has soft and tender cake layers wielding enough chocolate flavour without being overwhelming. The gelatin turns regular old whipped cream into stabilized whipped cream. Stabilized whipped cream is firm whipped cream that will hold a shape with the addition of gelatin.

While not totally necessary I am putting this a pro tip because it makes a difference, and allows the cake to last longer in the fridge.

Coffee is a chocolate enhancer and it will bring out an amazing chocolate taste in your cake.

The cake will not taste like coffee, I promise you. Per usual I like to give a couple pro tips that I think make this the best. Now if you have kirsch liqueur and don't have the Luxardo syrup, just sub the kirsch right in for the syrup - no problem. This is a non negotiable part of my recipe and the traditional black forest cake recipe. It is inexpensive and you will find yourself becoming a mixologist having this on hand. Luxardo cherry syrup actually tastes like cherries! And it is super thick and rich.honestly I don't really know if I could ever do it justice in writing. It is NOTHING like the maraschino cherry syrup you often find in bars or ice cream shops.

The cake is then decorated with piped, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings. Typically black forest cake is chocolate cake layered, with cherry and kirsch filling (the Black Forest part) and whipped cream between each layer. It gets its name from Kirsch liqueur which is made from Black Forest (in Germany) sour cherries. The traditional black forest cake recipe is German and is actually called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte. Homemade chocolate cake, a rich cherry filling and homemade whipped cream.this is a cake that sits atop most cakes. This is not just any cake - I promise you.
