Black Forest Cake

When someone say "cake" , the first name that comes into my mind is 'Black-forest'. The soft chocolate cake with layers of whipped cream make me so happy that I forgot my weight and start eating as much as I can.So today I am going to share my black-forest recipe with all of you .

Ingredients:

1. flour 175gms
2.  powder sugar 225gm
3. melted chocolate or coco powder 75gm
4. chocolate flakes 150gms
5. 4 eggs
6. cherry 15-20 piece
7. whipping cream 2 cup
8. powder sugar 1 to 1.5 cup
9. butter 75gms

Procedure:

• take a bowl and break all 4 eggs into it.
• add 225gms of sugar and start beating it with a hand beater.
• beat it for about 10-15 minutes in a medium speed or till it comes to a ribbon state and becomes very nice and foamy.
• now add melted chocolate in it.for melting hard chocolate you can take a microwave proof bowl,put the hard chocolate and butter together in it and keep it in the microwave for 1min.Otherwise you can do it with coco powder as well.So add melted chocolate with butter mixer or coco powder and melted butter (whatever you want) in it and mix it slowly.
• then sieve the flour and mix it slowly with very very soft hand.
• take two separate same size cake tin or cake pan, grease it with butter and sprinkle some flour in it.
• now pour equal quantity of the cake mixer in both the cake pan.
• preheat your oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit which is approximately180 degree Celsius and bake the cake for 20-25mins.
• after 20-25min do a tooth pick test(insert a toothpick into the cake ,if it comes out clean means your cake is ready ,if not you have to bake it for another 5-10mins).

• now start beating the whipping cream in a low speed for about 10-15 mins and keep on adding sugar in it.Do not add the sugar all at one time.Add it slowly.When it will become double in size and very very light weight ,stop beating that. You can notice that I have mentioned sugar  twice in ingredients list.The first amount of sugar is for cake mix and second is for the cream.

 

• now we will start layering the cake.Here I am making two layered cake.If you want to do more layering just increase the number of cake bases.
• put one cake base in a flat plate or serving tray and make a thick layer of whipped cream on top of it.Then add almost 10 chopped cherries on top.As I did not have cherries at that time I used strawberries.

• Put the second cake base on top of it.

• Then cover the whole cake with thick layer of whipped cream.

• sprinkle chocolate chips all over it.You can take normal chocolate and then can make chocolate chips by yourself with the help of a knife or peeler.

• Now take a cone or spoon and decorate it as you like. Your black forest is ready to serve.I decorated it with Whipped cream and strawberry like the way it sold in market.But you can decorate it as you like.Just take a cone.Fill it up with whipped cream.Make some circle and put some cherries on top of it.
