Anyway, on with the black forest cake I made for my hubby for Fathers Day. This wasn't a hard cake to bake or decorate. In fact I found it rather fun. Here is the recipe I followed, but made some adjustments to (such as not cutting each sponge layer horizontally to make 4 layers in total and using chopped chocolate biscuits to decorate the sides)
1st layer - chocolate sponge with cherry brandy drizzled over it (my local Woolworths Liquor store didn't have Kirsh so I went with another brand of cherry brandy)
2nd layer - cream and cherries
3rd layer - another chocolate sponge with more drizzles of cherry brandy
Ta da!!!! Whipped cream all over with curled chocolate in the centre and cherries for decoration. Oh and on the side I used crushed chocolate biscuits (Arnotts brand)
Sorry for the dark photo
I want a piece of this now! It looks amazing.
