Time 4h20m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 cups milk
4 tablespoons cornstarch, divided
⅓ cup white sugar
½ (.25 ounce) package unflavored gelatin
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 teaspoons vanilla sugar
2 (14.5 ounce) cans morello (sour) cherries in syrup, drained, syrup reserved
2 ounces semisweet chocolate, grated

Steps:

  • Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl using an electric mixer until frothy. Add vanilla sugar gradually, continuing to beat until firm peaks form. Fold into the saucepan with the chilled milk mixture.
  • Pour cherry syrup into a small saucepan. Mix in 1 tablespoon cornstarch and bring to a boil over medium heat until thickened. Immediately stir in cherries and pour into a glass bowl. Pour cream mixture on top in a thick layer and sprinkle with grated chocolate. Refrigerate until firm.

Time 2h5m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups white sugar, divided
1 ⅔ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 ½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup shortening
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups buttermilk
½ cup cherry liqueur, divided
1 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons cherry liqueur
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 pinch salt
1 (16 ounce) can pitted sour cherries, drained

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line two 8-inch round pans with parchment paper.
  • Sift 1 1/2 cups of the white sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl. Beat shortening and remaining 1/2 cup white sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat 1 egg at a time into the shortening mixture; add vanilla extract with last egg. Add portions of flour mixture alternately with buttermilk, beating after each addition to form a smooth batter. Pour batter into prepared baking pans.
  • Bake in preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
  • Remove parchment from cake bottoms. Cut each layer in half horizontally, making 4 layers total. Pour 2 tablespoons cherry liqueur over each cake half.
  • Beat cream in a chilled glass or metal bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Beat in 2 tablespoons cherry liqueur and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat in confectioners' sugar and salt until cream filling is smooth and stiff.
  • Spread 1 cake layer with 1/4 of the cream filling; top with 1/3 cherries. Repeat with 2 additional layers. Place 4th layer on top; frost top and sides of cake with remaining cream filling.

Tips:

  • Let the cake cool completely before assembling the dessert. This will help to prevent the cake from falling apart.
  • Chill the dessert for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.

Black Forest cherry dessert is a classic for a reason. It's a delicious, decadent dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, sweet cherries, and creamy whipped cream, it's sure to please everyone at your table.
