How to make Easy Black Forest Cake

Step-1

First we will make the sponges. Preheat the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C. Grease 2 x 8 inch diameter cake tins and line the bases with baking paper.
Step-2

In a large bowl, sift the cocoa powder, flour,baking soda and salt together, then add powdered sugar and combine.
Step-3

Add instant coffee powder and vanilla essence to a cup of hot water.
Step-4

Now add oil and coffee mix to the dry ingredients and fold gently. Make sure you add the liquid in two parts to avoid lumps.
Step-5

Divide the cake batter in to baking tins and bake in preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until springy to the touch.You can also check by inserting a toothpick in the centre, it should come out clean.
Step-6

Cool in the tins for 5 minutes, then turn out on to a cooling rack to cool down completely.
Step-7

To make the cherry syrup, put chopped cherries,water and the sugar in a pan; bring to the boil for 5-10 minutes or until the cherries are cooked well. Leave to cool .If you are using tinned or glazed cherries skip this step.
Step-8

Strain to separate the cherries from the syrup.Dilute the cherry syrup by adding some water if needed.
Step-9

Shave the block of chocolate using a peeler or by scraping the blade of a kitchen knife across the surface.
Step-10

To assemble the cake, level the tops of the sponges using a sharp knife, if needed. Place some strips of parchment paper around the cake stand(optional).Now put the first layer of the cake on top and moist it by drizzling some cherry syrup; then spread over a layer of the whipped cream, about 1cm thick. Top it up with a layer of cooked cherries.
Step-11

Spread a little more cream over the cherries, then top with another layer of cake, upside down, to give an even, flat top. Brush with the cherry syrup and cover with the whipping cream.
Step-12

Using a palette knife or flattening tool smooth out the top and sides of the cake. Put the remaining cream into a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle.
Step-13

Sprinkle chocolate shavings on the top of the cake and stick the chocolate shavings over the sides of the cake with your palm. Pipe swirls around the edge of the cake; place the reserved cherries on the swirls.
