BLACK FOREST CHERRY CAKE ROLL



Black Forest Cherry Cake Roll image

This chocolate-and-cherry cake is great for the holidays -- or whenever you need a special dessert. Since it's from scratch homemade it's a bit labor intensive but you get the satisfaction of being able to tell the folks at the table "Why yes, I made it myself". You can bake the cake the day before and that is a big help.

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h2m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
1 cup red frozen pitted tart cherries
1 1/2 teaspoons cherry flavored liqueur or 1 1/2 teaspoons cherry brandy
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
4 egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup granulated sugar
4 egg whites
1/2 cup granulated sugar
sifted powdered sugar
1/3 cup sugar
2 tablespoons water
2 slightly beaten egg yolks
1 1/2 teaspoons cherry flavored liqueur (optional) or 1 1/2 teaspoons cherry brandy (optional)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/4 cup semisweet chocolate piece, melted and cooled
chocolate curls (optional)

Steps:

  • For cherry filling, stir together the 1/4 cup sugar and the cornstarch in a small saucepan. Stir in the 2 tablespoons water. Add cherries. Cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat. Stir in 1-1/2 teaspoons cherry liqueur or brandy. Cover surface with plastic wrap; cool.
  • For cake, grease and lightly flour a 15x10x1-inch baking pan; set aside. Combine flour, cocoa powder, and baking soda in a small mixing bowl; set aside. Beat egg yolks and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed for 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually add the 1/3 cup granulated sugar, beating on high speed until sugar is almost dissolved.
  • Wash beaters thoroughly. Beat egg whites in a large mixing bowl on medium speed until soft peaks form (tips curl). Gradually add the 1/2 cup granulated sugar, beating until stiff peaks form (tips stand straight). Fold egg yolk mixture into egg white mixture. Sprinkle flour mixture over egg mixture; fold in gently just until combined. Spread batter evenly in the prepared pan.
  • Bake in a 375°F oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until top springs back when lightly touched. Immediately loosen edges of cake from pan; turn cake out onto a towel sprinkled with powdered sugar. Roll towel and cake into a spiral, starting from a long edge. Cool on a wire rack.
  • For chocolate buttercream: Stir together 1/3 cup sugar and 2 tablespoons water in a heavy small saucepan. Bring to boiling. Remove from heat. Gradually stir about half of the sugar mixture into 2 slightly beaten egg yolks. Return all of the egg yolk mixture to the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil; reduce heat (mixture may look curdled but will become smooth). Cook and stir for 2 minutes more. Remove from heat.
  • Add 1-1/2 teaspoons cherry liqueur or cherry brandy, if desired. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla. Cool to room temperature. Beat unsalted butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until fluffy. Add cooled egg yolk mixture and melted chocolate, beating until combined. If necessary, chill until mixture is of spreading consistency.
  • To assemble, unroll cake. Spread cake with chocolate buttercream to within 1/2 inch of edges. Spread cherry filling lengthwise over buttercream layer in a 1-1/2-inch-wide band, starting 1/2 inch from a long edge. Roll up cake without the towel, starting with long edge closest to filling. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate for at least 1 hour or up to 2 hours.
  • To serve, cut cake roll into 1-inch-thick slices. Garnish slices with chocolate curls, if desired. Makes 15 servings.
  • Make-ahead tip: Bake, roll, and cool cake as directed. Place cake, with towel, in large airtight container or wrap well with foil. Chill up to 24 hours. Let stand about 30 minutes at room temperature before unrolling and filling.

CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE



Chocolate Cherry Cake image

Chocolate and cherries are a match made in sweets heaven. A touch of kirsch -- brandy made from cherries -- enhances the filling for a more pronounced cherry flavor.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cake Recipes

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 1/4 cups sugar
2 tablespoons kirsch
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 1/2 pounds frozen black cherries (about 3 1/3 cup)
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pans
1/2 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder, sifted, plus more for pans
1/2 cup hot water
1/2 cup sour cream
3 ounces chopped dark chocolate (1/2 cup), melted and cooled slightly
1 1/2 cups cake flour (not self-rising), sifted
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
3 large eggs
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 teaspoon gelatin

Steps:

  • Whisk together 1/3 cup sugar, kirsch, and cornstarch in a medium pot. Add cherries and any juices. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring constantly, over medium-high until thickened, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 9-by-13-inch metal baking pan. Line with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on the long sides of the pan. Butter parchment.
  • Whisk cocoa with hot water in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in sour cream and melted chocolate; let cool. Whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt in another medium bowl.
  • In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and 1 2/3 cups sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating to combine after each and scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Beat in vanilla. With mixer on low, add flour mixture in two parts, alternating with the cocoa mixture and beginning and ending with the flour; beat until combined. Fold in 1 1/4 cups cherry filling; reserve remaining filling for topping.
  • Pour batter into prepared pan; smooth with an offset spatula. Bake until a cake tester inserted in center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Transfer pan to a wire rack to cool completely. Remove cake from pan.
  • Transfer cake to a serving platter. In a small saucepan over low, heat gelatin and 2 tablespoons water over low, stirring constantly, just until gelatin melts, about 3 minutes. In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk heavy cream and remaining 1/4 cup sugar on medium-high. Once soft peaks form, slowly add gelatin mixture with the mixer running until combined. Frost top of cooled cake and top with remaining cherry filling.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
  • Make sure the eggs are at room temperature before you start baking.
  • Don't overmix the batter, or the cake will be tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before you roll it up.
  • Use a serrated knife to cut the cake so that it doesn't tear.
  • Serve the cake with your favorite frosting or glaze.

Conclusion:

This chocolate cherry cake roll is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich chocolate flavor, sweet cherry filling, and light and fluffy texture, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. If you're looking for a special dessert to make for your next party or gathering, this chocolate cherry cake roll is the perfect choice.
