This is a recipe sketch, implying that either we haven’t found the right proportion of ingredients, or that we’re too lazy to measure, or that it’s easy (and almost nothing can go wrong!). You’ve been warned! Now enjoy…
We just made this black forest cake. Well, actually, we’re not sure whether it can pass as a black forest cake. Hopefully. We used chocolate rum cake as a base, a dense cake with rich chocolate flavour and intense rum and vanilla aroma (we’ll post a recipe for this soon). We also used a chocolate ganache glazing, roughly 1 to 1 scalding heavy cream to chopped milk/dark chocolate ratio. The filling was whipping cream and canned cherries, lined with the ganache. We glazed the side and top of the cake with the ganache, and topped it with whipped cream and cherries. Finally, we sprinkled it with shredded chocolate. Yummy!
