Black Forest Cake | Best combo of chocolate & cherries!

★Online Classes★
For more online classes please visit: hanbitcho.com/course/
Black Forest is a classic cake that combines chocolate with cherries. I’ve applied the theme of Black Forest to a Korean style shortcake - hence a Black Forest cake with a lighter texture.

I did it! First time success! Birthday person was blown away. I did not have those canned cherries but I used premium jam to make those cherry spots on top of the filling and also the brushing syrup was cherry juice + liquid from cocktail cherries + vanilla extract.

[@HanbitCho]

nice!

[@forschungstorte]

Hanbit, you just fused two of my most favorite southern German pastries into a delicious masterpiece: The structure and most important ingredients of the Black Forrest Cake with a lighter, more elegant version of the Granatsplitter filling. (For those who don't know: Granatsplitter are filled with a heavier buttercream with cherries and cake, giving it a rustic cake pop style texture and covered in dark chocolate.) I am originally from the Black Forest and really appreciate you taking a classic cake to a higher level. Can't wait to make this cake for my birthday.

[@HanbitCho]

Hello chef Hanbit, I stumbled across your video when looking for a good black forest recipe and can't wait to try this! I've done the chocolate genoise and it turned out perfectly first try! Your instructions are clear and easy to follow. One question: where did you get your name plates for your cake toppers made? I would love to have some made up myself to be as professional when wowing my party guests! Many thanks and keep up the good work.

[@HanbitCho]

its a custom thing.

[@miskyloo887]

Another good one to try, thank you chef.. Its my cousins bday later this month so I ll give this a try.. I might add extra dark chocolate for a darker ganache ..That shouldn't be an issue right? I could also ice the top with same ganache? Me being lazy to make two creams!

[@HanbitCho]

yeah thik that'll be ok!

[@elnywidjaja9885]

Thank you for sharing this recipe. I've been looking chocolate cake korean style. I'm very lucky to follow you. Btw, how to deliver this cake to customer as the icing will be melting in no time? Which type of icing is much sturdier for hot climate like Indonesia, butter cream or cream using heavy cream?

[@HanbitCho]

yeah it needs to be chilled.

[@jeslyntan3776]

Hi Chef! Thanks for the recipe, it looks delicious! What tips would you have for making the the icing whipped cream more stable & less likely to melt, due to the high temp at where I live. Would adding some gelatin work & if so how much would you suggest? Thanks!

[@HanbitCho]

gelatin will melt at high temp as well!

[@jeslyntan3776]

@@HanbitCho true true! So what would you suggest to make it last a little longer in room temp during summer? Just worried it will melt in transit 😓

[@vittoriabakes]

@@jeslyntan3776 I use modified food starch powder, or instant pudding mix will work as well. Mix it in just before it's at the whipped consistency that you want. For instant pudding, use 1 Tbsp per cup of heavy cream. For food starch, use 1 tsp per cup of heavy cream. Nothing will completely beat the heat over ~80F though, so if you're transporting it, I'd highly recommend blasting the a/c in the car, and putting the cake with some kind of ice packs or something in a closed container. There are lots of tutorials on youtube on this subject. Hope this helps.
