The magnificent magic of chocolate cake layers with cherries and whipped cream frosting. A wonderful and delicious cake is derived from German cuisine.
Cherries In Syrup
Cherries dipped in syrup are a real treat to enjoy on this cake. Cherries are themselves irresistible especially when they are fresh but keeping them for long needs a different treatment.
The idea to make this cake came up when I had a load of cherries and preserved them in syrup, my motive that time was to make a cherry cheesecake but then I thought why don’t give a try to both of them.
Chocolate Cake Layers
Chocolate cake is loved and has variants in every cuisine. Whether you are going for Turkish-style Wet Cake (aka Turkish Moist cake) or the simple chocolate cake to go with simple frosting, the sponge always has a different kind of treatment.
The sponge in Black forest cake does not have baking powder and the process of adding egg is also different than rest of chocolate cakes. Egg whites have to treated separately and added into the batter after it gains stiff peaks.
Moist
Usually, the sponge cakes made for extra treatment are dry but I have used oil and milk that makes the cake sponge moist, and extra cocoa powder makes it extra flavorful to give you chocolate taste depth.
