Provided by Emma Lewis

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

568ml pot single cream
140g caster sugar
4 egg yolks
½ tsp vanilla extract
200g dark chocolate (70% cocoa), plus extra to decorate
1⁄2 400g can cherries
2 tbsp kirsch or brandy
148ml double cream
2 tsp icing sugar
2 brownie squares
200g butter
175g dark brown sugar
140g granulated sugar
4 eggs
50g ground almond
50g plain flour
200g dark chocolate

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.
  • FOR THE BROWNIES: Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4, then grease and line a 20cm square brownie tin. Heat the butter and dark chocolate in a pan until melted. Stir through dark brown sugar and granulated sugar. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then mix through the eggs. Stir in the almonds and flour. Pour into the tin, then bake for 30-35 mins until just cooked through. (Makes 16)

BLACK FOREST BROWNIE CAKE



Black Forest Brownie Cake image

Inspired by Black Forest torte, this rich chocolate cake is served with Bing cherries, which are macerated with Kirsch (a cherry liqueur) and sugar, and a voluminous dollop of whipped cream.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 9

13 tablespoons butter, plus more for pan
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for pan
6 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
4 large eggs, 3 separated, 1 whole
3 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
3/4 pound fresh Bing cherries, or frozen
7 tablespoons kirsch, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Butter and sugar an 8-inch springform pan, and set aside.
  • Chop chocolate into small pieces, and place in a double boiler or heatproof bowl with the butter. Place over a pan of barely simmering water, and stir occasionally until completely melted. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Place 3 yolks, whole egg, salt, and 2/3 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium high until thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Wash mixer bowl and whisk; add the 6 egg whites and 1/3 cup sugar to the clean bowl. Whisk until mixture is stiff and shiny, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour chocolate mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, and fold together. Gently fold in egg-white mixture until just combined. Pour into prepared pan, and bake until cake has risen quite high and top has begun to crack, about 1 hour 10 minutes. The center of cake should be set but not at all dry. Allow to cool completely on rack, then remove sides of pan.
  • Cut each cherry in half by running the tip of a paring knife around each, starting at the stem. Gently twist cherries to separate halves, and carefully remove pits. Place cherries and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in medium skillet set over medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and cherries release their juice, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, add kirsch, and transfer carefully back to heat. Allow to cook until liquid is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks. Serve chocolate cake with warm cherry mixture and a dollop of whipped cream.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your brownies.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the brownies tough.
  • Bake the brownies until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached. Overbaking will make the brownies dry.
  • Let the brownies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • Use a variety of toppings. Fresh berries, chocolate chips, and nuts are all great options.

Conclusion:

Black forest brownies are a delicious and decadent dessert that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make the perfect black forest brownies every time.
