It's Bake-Along time! You guys have been restless, I know. But POW! I'm back with an old favourite from my childhood, the Black Forest Cake. I have so many memories of having this at kids parties in the 80s but I don't think we should right it off just yet. It's still a massive crowd pleaser and I've made a few adjustments here and there and I hope you're going to love it!

I would be interested to see you make Sacher Torte, particularly the chocolate glaze (not ganache).

@leoniewagner4092 5 жыл бұрын

In Germany we have something called “Sahnesteif” to stiffen the cream. It’s literally just corn starch and icing sugar. But it works really well actually and it’s a really good alternative to gelatin. Nice cake by the way ❤️ not very traditionally though. Love from Germany 🇩🇪

I have never used gelatin to stiffen cream for the Black Forest cake, but then I am just an amateur baker. I have to say, German cakes are delicious!

Very true. Totally different to the one my grandmother made (which is absolutely fine), but that means I need to do more research because unfortunately my grandma never shared the recipe. :)

You asked in the video for anyone who has stabilized whipped cream thoughts to share them. When I make a heavy layered cake and want to use whipped cream between the layers, as much as I like, without it squishing out, I use: per cup of whipping cream, 2 Tbsp skim milk powder, 2 Tbsp icing (confectioners) sugar, 1 Tbsp meringue powder. The whipped cream whips up very hard, hard enough to stack up four heavy layers with berries, coulis. No issues. And it stays hard even if your cake lasts for a couple days.

I have watched so many videos and read so many cake recipes and no one has done a chocolate cake like this one...at least not that I found! I was going to just wing it and go with my instincts, but I'm not that experienced of a baker and really wanted to find a recipe first. I'm making the cake tomorrow and thought I'd give a search one more go and voila! Here you are. Bless you xx. LOVE the recipe and will let you know how it turns out. I'm doing the traditional cherries and whipped cream, but soooo using your cake recipe. Much love!

I just made strawberries and cream cake with a chiffon sponge yesterday, wish I watched this first so I could have decorated it like this! So beautiful the blobs with the fruit in between. That said, everyone said they loved my cake because of the balance between the sweetness of the cake, tartness of the strawberries and lightness of the whipped cream that I spiked with sour cream to stabilize, so I’m thinking if I had used buttercream it would have been all sweet and too much. Next masterclass.... sticky date cake please!

I stabilize with cream cheese. Don't know the conversions, but in the US, it's 2 C cold cream to 1 pkg (8 oz) room temp cream cheese. Whip the cheese and 1/4 C of sugar for a few minutes then add the cream and 2 tsp of vanilla extract. Whip on high until stiff peaks.

Dear Jemma, many thanks. Beautiful cake, probably delicious 😋 but certainly hasn't much in common with a traditional black forrest cake 😀 But as you said the world is our oyster and everyone os free to develop their own recipes. 👍👏Being the daughter of a Confectioner I could d share the following: Bottom is a thin shortcrust. 2 sponges, but not as thick as yours. Filling usually done cherries from the glas (not amarena cherries): You take the cherry juice blend a few spoons with cornstarch, bring the majority of the juice to a boil, mix the starch juice blend under and bring to a boil again, stir intensive until juice thickens, then add Kirsch and stir again. stack bottom add cherries 🍒 and then whipped cream, next sponge cherries and whipped cream again. cover cake complete with whipped cream. Add chocolate for decoration and cherries. I personally still use gelantine as this helps me best, however many people have objections for which I recommend to use any other stiffener at you own convenience. Love your😍 channel. Many thanks 🙏and best regards from Germany 🇩🇪 Stefanie

@shroomieshrooms8185 5 жыл бұрын

JEMMA! This cake looks and sounds amazing! I have a few questions for you or anyone who can answer: fresh fruit on my cakes are my favorite way to decorate but every time I do, the buttercream starts to disintegrate because of the fresh juices no matter how long I dry them. It makes for a sloppy, wet icing job. Also when I've completed a cake and store it in the cooler, later when I take it out to serve or deliver it, it condensates on the buttercream which also ruins the icing job. How can I fix these two problems?
