Anyone remember the cherry bomb cupcakes that I made a few years ago? I wondered what it would look like if I took that same recipe and turned it into a bakery-worthy three layer black forest dream. I had to make a few minor modifications to the recipe but in general, this cake turned out very similar to its cupcake inspiration. Layer of rich chocolate cake and dark chocolate ganache and cherry buttercream - nothing wrong with that. So here goes - my very basic recipe for black forest cake. Black Forest Cake Mocha three layer cake (or three layers of your favorite chocolate cake) 1 cup heavy whipping cream 1 Tablespoon corn syrup pinch of salt 2 cups chocolate chips 6 Tablespoons butter 1 Tablespoon vanilla 3 cups frozen dark cherries 3 Tablespoons sugar 2 Tablespoons water 1 recipe of sweet vanilla buttercream
Pour over chocolate chips and let sit for 3 minutes.
To assemble the cake, start with a cake layer on the cake circle and then a layer of chocolate ganache.
Spread remaining buttercream on sides of cake and then spread a thick layer of chocolate ganache over the top. This cake reminds me of the cherry bomb cupcakes because I would describe them both as a beautiful mess. I never claimed that this was a neat cake - just a good cake.
Ciao!
