Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

Cooking spray

6

large eggs, separated

1/2 c.

all-purpose flour

1/4 c.

unsweetened cocoa powder

3/4 c.

granulated sugar, divided

1/4 tsp.

kosher salt

Powdered sugar, for sprinkling

1 1/4 c.

heavy cream

1/4 c.

powdered sugar

2 tsp.

gelatin (optional)

1 tsp.

pure vanilla extract

Pinch kosher salt

1/2 c.

(1 stick) butter, softened

1 1/2 c.

powdered sugar, plus more for garnish

5 tbsp.

cocoa powder

1 tsp.

pure vanilla extract

3 tbsp.

heavy cream

Pinch kosher salt

Chocolate curls, for garnish

Cranberries, for garnish

Small rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper and grease with cooking spray. In a medium bowl mix together flour, cocoa powder, and salt.  In a large bowl beat egg yolks until thick. Slowly add ½ cup sugar and beat until pale then beat in flour mixture.  In another large bowl beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Add remaining ¼ cup sugar a little at a time and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into batter in two batches. Pour batter into prepared pan and spread into an even layer. Bake until top springs back when lightly pressed, 12 minutes.  Dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar and invert warm cake onto towel. Peel off parchment paper.  Starting at the short end, use the towel to tightly roll cake into a log. Let cool completely.  Make filling: if using gelatin, place 2 tablespoons cold water in a shallow microwave-safe bowl and sprinkle gelatin in an even layer on top. Let bloom for 5 to 10 minutes, then microwave for 10 seconds until gelatin is runny—do not overheat!  In a large bowl, beat together heavy cream, powdered sugar, pure vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt, until medium peaks form. If using gelatin, strain and stream into whipped cream at this point while continuing to beat the cream. Refrigerate until ready to use.  When cake is cool, unroll and spread filling evenly over cake. Roll cake back into a log, using the towel to help create a tight roll. Place seam side down on a baking sheet and refrigerate until well chilled, 1 hour.  Make frosting: In a large bowl beat butter until smooth. Add powdered sugar and cocoa powder and beat until no lumps remain then beat in vanilla, heavy cream, and salt.  When ready to serve, trim ends and frost cake with chocolate buttercream. Dust lightly with powdered sugar and top with chocolate curls. Place cranberries and rosemary on log to create mistletoe.

BLACK FOREST CAKE RECIPE - NYT COOKING



Black Forest Cake Recipe - NYT Cooking image

Black forest cake, which originated in the Black Forest region of Germany, is typically made with a light chocolate sponge cake, soaked with cherry syrup and cherry brandy (Kirsch), then layered with whipped cream and cherries. This version swaps the chocolate sponge for a denser, fudgier chocolate cake to delicious effect. But slicing a rich chocolate cake into four thin layers can be a bit tricky. To make the job a little easier, cool them completely before slicing. The cherry jam and syrup can be made in advance.

Total Time 2 hours

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 21

1 cup/240 milliliters vegetable oil, plus more for greasing the pans
1 1/2 cups/140 grams Dutch-process cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups/360 milliliters boiling water
1 cup/240 milliliters buttermilk
4 large eggs
1 1/2 cups/330 grams packed dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups/385 grams all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 cups (about 20 ounces/600 grams) fresh or frozen dark sweet cherries, pitted
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 to 2 tablespoons Kirsch
1/3 cup/40 grams confectioners’ sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
4 cups/960 milliliters heavy cream
6 ounces/170 grams bittersweet chocolate, shaved into curls
8 fresh or frozen whole dark sweet cherries, pitted

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9-inch round cake pans with oil and line the bottom of each with parchment paper.
  • To prepare the cake, in a large bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder and boiling water until smooth. Add the buttermilk and 1 cup vegetable oil, and whisk to combine. Add the eggs, brown sugar and vanilla extract, then whisk to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the dry ingredients to the wet, then whisk to combine. Divide the batter evenly between the two pans.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Transfer the cakes to a rack to cool for about 20 minutes, then flip the cakes out onto the rack and let them cool completely. Flip the cakes again, so the domed portion is on top, and trim a bit of the dome off each cake to flatten the top. Carefully cut each layer in half horizontally, creating four layers.
  • While the cake cools, prepare the cherry jam: In a small saucepan, combine the cherries and sugar over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally and breaking the cherries down with a wooden spoon or potato masher, until the fruit has released its juice, about 6 minutes.
  • Pass the cherry mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, reserving the syrup in a medium bowl and setting aside the cooked cherries. Measure out 1/2 cup/120 milliliters of the syrup. (If you have more, store the rest in the refrigerator for another use). Transfer 1 tablespoon syrup from the 1/2 cup to small bowl, then stir the Kirsch into remaining syrup; set aside to cool completely.
  • Add 1 teaspoon cornstarch to the reserved 1 tablespoon cherry syrup in the small bowl; whisk to combine. Transfer it to the saucepan, add the cooked cherries and cook over medium, stirring, until the mixture has thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool completely. (You should have about 1 1/4 cups/300 milliliters jam.)
  • Prepare the whipped cream: In a small saucepan, whisk together the confectioners’ sugar, cornstarch and 1 cup heavy cream. Bring that mixture to a low boil over medium heat and cook, stirring, until thickened to the consistency of thin pudding, reducing heat as necessary to avoid scorching, about 2 minutes. Transfer cream mixture to a large bowl to cool completely.
  • Assemble the cake: Whisk the cream mixture to loosen it, then add the remaining 3 cups heavy cream. Using an electric mixer on medium, beat the mixture until you have medium-stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Set one cake layer on a serving plate, cut-side up. Brush it with some of the cherry-Kirsch syrup, spread about 1 cup whipped cream over the top, then 1/3 of the cherry jam. Swirl the jam and the cream together a bit to spread it out evenly. Repeat this process two more times and top it with the last cake layer, cut-side down. Then cover the entire cake with a thin layer of whipped cream. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • To finish, frost the cake with the remaining whipped cream. Prepare the chocolate curls: Warm the chocolate bar in the microwave for 10 to 15 seconds, then use a vegetable peeler to create curled chocolate shavings. Press the chocolate shavings onto the sides of the cake and over a 1-inch of the border on top. Top with the 8 cherries. Store leftovers, well wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

CAKE COMPONENTS - MAKING, BAKING AND CAKING
Flour. More often than not, in cakes, it's self-raising flour. You'll find plain flour in a recipe if it has baking powder, too. Flour serves three purpouses: It's the main structure and bulk of the cake. Source of gluten, which means the cake can rise and set. Makes a golden surface as it gelatinises.
