BLACK FOREST CAKE

Hi, Steemians,

I love chocolate so I had a hard time making up my mind!
Finally, I decided to make my husband's @irishcoffee, favourite dessert the black forest because I never made it because I was afraid of not succeeding.
Come on, let's get started.

INGREDIENTS

For the sponge cake (20 cm mould)

• 4 eggs
• 100 g all purpose flour
• 125 g sugar
• 13 g cornstarch
• 12 g unsweetened cocoa powder

For the syrup

• 100 ml water
• 70 g sugar
• 40 g Kirsch

For whipped cream

• 370 g whole cream
• 25 g icing sugar
• 1 vanilla bean

For finishing

• 80 g of morello cherries + 17 morello cherries
• 1 dark chocolate bar

DIRECTIONS

Part 1 The Genoise

Sift the flour, cornstarch and cocoa powder.

In a bowl, put the whole eggs and sugar. Put in the bain-marie (double boiler) and put the sabayon up. Caution, the temperature must not exceed 65°C or 150°F.
Whisk to double the volume.

Gently stir in the flour, cornstarch and cocoa together with a maryse.
Mix well.

Line your mould with butter and flour.

Pour in the mixture and bake for 20 minutes at 180°C or 350°F.
Check the doneness by inserting a knife which should come out clean.

Part 2 Punching syrup

Put the water and sugar in a small saucepan and bring to a boil.

Refrigerate until completely cool.
Stir in the kirsch.

Part 3 Whipped cream

Refrigerate the cream to keep it cool.
Put the bowl bowl and whisk in the freezer so that they are very cold.
Whip up the cream and when it starts to be consistent, add the icing sugar and vanilla.

Part 4 Assembling Black Forest

Drain the cherries.
Make sure that the sponge cake has cooled down properly! Level the cake into three layers.

Place 2 layer in a serving dish and soak in syrup.

Cover with cream and place half of the cherries.

Place 1 layer, upside down, soak in syrup and cover with cream and the rest of morello cherries.

Soak 3 layer and place it upside down.

Part 5 Finishing

Cover the cake completely with whipped cream.

Cut out chocolate chips and cover the cake contour.

Pipe cream rosettes on top and place morello cherries.

Decorate as you wish.

Enjoy your wine.
So long, Steemians.
