Best 5 Black Forest Sundae Cake Recipes

BLACK FOREST CAKE

Steps:

• Beat the eggs with the salt and sugar for about 20 minutes.
• In a separate bowl, mix thedry ingredients: flour, cocoa, corn starch and baking powder. Carefully fold itinto the egg mix. Also carefully add the melted butter and fold it in.
• Grease the baking pan (26 cm /10 ¼ inch diameter) and fill the dough in. Bake at 190°C / 375°F for about 25 to 30 minutes.
• Let the cake cool completely, then put it into the fridge for an hour to make it firm for cutting.
• Put the Cherries in a sieve and collect the juice underneath.
• Put all ingredients (starch, cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice)into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Let boil until the liquid thickens.
• Add the cherries and let cool.
• Prepare the gelatine acording to package instructions.
• Beat the cream and add the Kirschwasser and sugar until stiff. Mix some of the cream with the gelatine, then mix this into the cream.
• Also mix in the 25 ml Kirschwasser.
• Cut the cake twice to create 3 layers.
• Put the first layer upside down on a cake plate and brush ⅓ of the "Cake Potion" onto it.
• Use a piping bag with whipping cream to make a rime around the edge of the cake.
• Use half of the cherry filling to place it inside the cream rim onto the cake.
• If you have one: Place a cake ring around the cake.
• Cover the entire layer with cream.
• Take the next layer of cake and place it on top of the cream.
• Repeat the previous steps: Brush ⅓ of the cake potion on it, make a cream rim, place remaining cherry filling inside the circle and cover everything with cream.
• Brush the third cake layer with the cake potion, then put it with the cut side down and the bottom side up, so it is now the top of your cake.
• Cover the cake with a large lid and place into the fridge for at least 4 hours or better over night.
• Whip the cream with the stabilizer. If you don't have stabilizer, use a tablespoon of corn starch.
• With a sharp knife, shave some chocolate from the bar. Then grate the remaining chocolate.
• Take the cake from the fridge and cover it entirely with cream. Leave some cream for the top decoration though.
• Use the grated chocolate to cover the sides of the cake. If you freeze the grated chocolate for a little bit, you can use your hands to put the chocolate onto the cake - worked best for me.
• Divide the top of the cake into 12 slices by just tracing the sizes but not cutting the cake.
• Use a piping bag and a tip to create 12 swirls on top of the cake - one swirl on each slice.
• Place the shaved chocolate on the center of the top, then put a cherry onto each cream swirl.
• Done!

Steps:

• For the ice cream, pour the cream into a pan and bring to the boil. Beat together the sugar, egg yolks and vanilla. Pour over 2 tbsp of the cream and whisk into the egg mixture. Pour the egg mixture into the pan with the cream, lower the heat, then cook for a few mins, stirring continuously with a wooden spoon, until the custard coats the back of the spoon.
• Melt the chocolate in the microwave on High for 1 min, then stir into the bowl of custard. When the custard has cooled, churn in an ice-cream maker according to manufacturers' instructions.
• To make the sauce, drain the cherries, reserving the liquid, then set aside. Place the liquid in a pan with the kirsch or brandy and simmer for 5 mins, or until syrupy. Return the cherries to the pan to heat through.
• To assemble the sundaes, whip the cream with the icing sugar until soft peaks form. Cut the brownies into bite-size pieces, then place a handful at the bottom of 4 glasses. Scoop the ice cream on top, then drizzle with the cherries and sauce. Dollop with whipped cream and scatter with grated chocolate.
