• Step 4 Bake the cake in three separate trays. 

After that, divide the cake batter among three baking trays and bake for 20-30 minutes, or until done. Sticking a toothpick into the cake is the best way to see if it is done. Your cake is ready if it comes out clean.

Drain the cherries and set aside 1/2 cup of the juice. In a saucepan, combine the juice, sugar, and cornflour. Cook over low heat until it begins to thicken slightly. Turn off the heat and allow it to cool.

• Step 6: Whip the cream thoroughly.

Add whipping cream to this mixture and combine thoroughly with an electric mixer.

Place the bottom layer of the cake on top, then add some whipping cream and spread it evenly. Now add the second layer and spread some cream on top. Place the final layer of cake on top of the remaining cream.

Tips 

 

  • Avoid undermixing and overmixing the black forest gateau at all costs. Overmixing the batter will deflate the necessary air in the batter, resulting in dense cakes. On the other hand, don't undermix. Each of the condiments must be mixed properly together. 
  • Do not open the oven door frequently as this will cause the oven temperature to fluctuate, resulting in uneven baking and cracking.


How to Keep


• Because of the whipped cream, this cake has a short shelf life once assembled. It's best served immediately or chilled for a few hours before serving.

• Refrigerate leftovers tightly covered for up to two days. The longer the cake sits, the more the whipped cream will break down and soak into it. 

• Black forest cake should not be frozen. Unadorned cakes can be frozen for up to a month if tightly wrapped. Defrost in the fridge or on the counter before continuing with the recipe.
