How to Make Black Forest Cake
Making Cake Batter
Black forest cake has a rich chocolate flavoured cake. Usually it is made with several layers of cake. Bu the most common recipe has three layers of chocolate cake. You can make eggless black forest cake and microwave black forest cake as per your requirement.
Baking Cakes
once the batter is made, divide it between the cake pans. Bake it until cooked. Once the cakes are baked, you can check by inserting a toothpick in the centre of the cake. If the toothpick comes out clean then the cakes are baked. Remove the cakes from oven, allow it to cool completely.
Making Frosting & Decorations
Take some canned cherries, strain the cherries. Take the cherries, remove the pit from it. Reserve the flesh and juice separately. Whip cream till thick and stiff. Make chocolate sauce by melting chocolate and cream in a sauce pan or microwave. Make chocolate shavings and chocolate curls.
Decorating Cake
Place the cake in a decorating stand, brush top with some cherry syrup, top with cherries and whipped cream. Top with another cake and repeat the same till all the cakes are stacked. Decorate the cake with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, cherries and chocolate curd.
Refrigerate & Serving
Once the cakes is assembled, place the cake in fridge for few hours so it sets nicely. slice and serve.
Frosting a Cake with Whipped Cream
Before frosting a cake with whipped cream or any frosting. You have to allow the cake to cool completely. If you try to frost the cake when your cakes are still warm, the frosting may melt off.
Place the cake on a cake board, place few strips of parchment paper around the cake before frosting. once the cake is frosted, you can remove the strips. This will make the serving platter clean.
Brush the cake with syrup generously. Layer the cakes with cherries and whipped cream. Repeat this for all the cakes. Cover the cake entirely with whipped cream and try to smooth the frosting as best as you can.
How to Make Black Forest Cake (Stepwise Pictures)
1)Preheat oven to 180 degree C. Line Three 8 inch round cake pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with oil and dust it generously with plain flour. Tap off the excess and set aside.
Mixing Dry Ingredients
1)Take a large mixing bowl. Add in sugar and plain flour in the mixing bowl. This batter is mixed in one bowl. Use a large mixing bowl for the cake batter.
2)Add in cocoa powder, salt. Use dark finest quality dark cocoa for maximum flavour. Best quality cocoa makes the cake intense.
3)Add in baking soda, baking powder and mix well.
4)Mix the dry ingredients using a whisk or spatula.
Make Cake Batter

6)Add in yogurt and use an electric beater to mix the cake batter. Once the cake batter is almost mixed, add in boiling hot water to mix the cake batter.

Pro Tip: If your oven is small, and you cannot bake all the cakes at the same time. you can keep the cake batter covered at room temperature once the first batch is done baking.
9)Remove the cake pans from oven and allow it to cool for 10 minutes. Use a spatula to remove the sides of the cake. Un mould the cake from mould onto a wire rack. Allow it so it cools completely.
Cherries for Cake
10)I used canned cherries. Strain the cherries in a sieve. Reserve the cherry syrup for brushing on top of the cake. For the cherries, remove the pit and use the cherries for the cake.
Chocolate Sauce
11)Take cream and chocolate in a sauce pan or microwave safe bowl. Place it in microwave for 20 to 30 seconds until the chocolate melts. Mix till smooth. Set this aside till use.

13)Take the cooled cake in a rotating stand or serving plate. Brush the top with cherry syrup generously.
14)Add in cherries on top, spread with whipped cream.
15)Top with another layer of cake. Brush the cake with syrup, top with cherries, whipped cream. Now Repeat this for all the cake.

17)Pipe the whipped cream over the cake, drizzle with chocolate sauce. top with cherries.
18)Place the cake in fridge for few hours. Slice and serve.
How to Decorate Black Forest Cake (2 Layers)
1)This cake I made in my second attempt. I made a two layer black forest cake. For making this I divided the batter between two 8 inch round cake pans and baked for 35 to 40 minutes. Allow the cake to cool completely before decorating.
For making chocolate curls or chocolate shavings. Use a peeler, to shave the chocolate. make white chocolate the same way. These chocolate curls makes great decoration for cakes.
You can use a grater to grate chocolate for decoration as well.
2)This version of the cake, I used whipped cream and chocolate for decorating the cake
- Pipe the whipped cream all over the cake.
- Decorate the sides with chocolate sprinkles.
- Top the cake with chocolate shavings and curls.
- Decorate with cherries.
3)Delicious two layered black forest cake is ready to serve.

- Now take your bowl out and add in cream in it, add in sugar and vanilla. Use your beater to whip this till it is creamy. It will start to get thick and fluffy. Make sure you whip till stiff peaks form. When you lift the beater from the cream, the cream holds it shape in the beater.

carol
Nice recipe however reading your notes regarding Amul cream, sorry to say it does not work,I tried several boxes from the store but all that comes out from the Amul boxes was a thin trickle of thick milk, hardly any cream content is visible, I would suggest for other bakers to try any better brand like KDD or nestles as their cream is much thicker in consistency.
Aarthi
@carolHow i use amul cream is, drain the watery part from the amul tub. Take the thick part alone in a bowl and keep whipping using a electric blender till it is little thick, then add some icing sugar and vanilla and whisk till it is thick and forms stiff peak.
Amul fresh cream takes lots of time to get thick, So there are chances of the whisk getting heated. So i keep the mixing bowl and the beater attachment which i use to whisk in freezer for a whole night. Then use that to whisk the cream, this way the cream gets thicker faster. And also you have to add sugar once the thick has turned slight creamy or it wont get thick.
Right now i dont use amul cream, i use store bought whipping cream powder. But in this recipe i uses amul fresh cream.

Hi Aarthi,
I am a big fan of ur cooking. I tried this on my husband's birthday and it came out very nice.
I encounter some problems,
My came crust becomes too had , and when I chop it off half of the cake goes wasting. I preheat the oven for 180 degrees for 10 min and bake it for 35-40 min, until its completely baked.
can I know the proper consistency of the batter? what might gone wrong.
Secondly, About wipping cream, which one do you use, I don't get any except Amul, I used that only and it took a lot more time. still I was not satisfied with the consistency of the cream.
Please reply.
Regards,
Rohini Prashanth
Aarthi
@rohini murthy the cake batter consistency should not be too thick. It should be smooth.
You must have over baked the cake. And regarding the cream, check the above comment.
Amruta Panigrahi
Hi Aarthi,
I love all your dishes, i love your blog & specially the pictorial presentation its just a superb idea... thank you so much 🙂
now coming to this black forest cake which i made yesterday for my best friends birthday it was good my friend loved it but i was not satisfied with the final result of the cake because after baking in the tin it did not came out of the tin ... it was stuck.. badly stuck
🙁 & you have not added baking powder in it ? is it because we have added eggs to it? please please reply to my question i will try to send you the picture of my black forest cake.
Keep rocking 🙂
Aarthi
@Amruta Panigrahi Glad you tried and liked my cake.
And regarding your query.
1)You must have not prepared the cake tin properly. You should butter the cake tin generously, dust it with flour and tap it to coat all sides. This will create a nonstick like layer in the tin and your cake should slide off easily. Next time if you are scared you can line the base of the tin with parchment paper and butter it and the sides generously.This way your cake will just pop off.
2) And the baking powder is not added because of the 6 eggs. Foaming up the eggs will create a airyness and make the cake soft.

Hi Aarthi
I tried this recipe.It came out really well and tasted too good!!
I just used the same measurements as you mentioned. Only thing is ,it did not raise much.I dont know why?!

Madhu
Hi aarthi, do u suggest me in buying a cake tin with removable bottom or normal non- stick one is good enough. For removable bottoms, does the batter leaks or not? I came to know from one of ur posts that removable bottoms are good for cheescakes. And also i have a convection oven so, is it good to purchase a square tin or round tin.
Aarthi
@Vidyalakshmi SankaranHai Vidya, this cake wont raise much, it will be little thinner, but the taste will be really good..
Aarthi
@Madhu
Hai Madhu, removable bottom cake tins are good for making cheesecakes, normal ones are good for cake. Square pans are great for making brownies..round cake pan is good if you make cakes and frost it. Hope you got the idea..

You can always add little milk to thin the batter. YOu have to soak the cake well in the syrup before icing. this way it will stay moist.
