Black forest cake is traditionally made with sponge cake and that means it s a non yeasted cake using beaten eggs as a leavening agent. The only thing i modified was using confectioner sugar instead of granulated as the recipe suggested. Place 1 cup cream filling in a heavy duty resealable plastic bag. Triangle in one corner of bag.

It s based on the german dessert schwarzwälder kirschtorte literally translated to black forest cherry torte traditionally kirschwasser known commonly as kirsch a brandy made from sour cherries is added to the cake historians believe that this cake originated in the late. To assemble cut each cake into two horizontal layers. The cake baked up beautifully the cherries were perfect and the whole thing just came together wonderfully. For frosting in a large bowl beat the cream sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Top with 1 2 cup cream filling. The only change i made and i heartily recommend it is that i made a syrup out of 1 2 cup reserved cherry juice 1 2 cup sugar and 1 4 cup kirsch cherry liqueur. Place bottom layer on a serving plate. The best black forest cake recipe i ve tried and i ve tried a lot.

To simplify this recipe we used a boxed cake mix.
