How to make Schwarzwald cake

Friends are made through getting along with each other, and in the process of becoming friends, visiting each other’s homes is naturally inevitable. It would be really "shameful" if you don't have a signature dish. Of course, you don’t have to worry, because today I will teach you all the techniques for making Black Forest (Schwarzwald-cake).

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees, take a 20cm diameter cake mold, grease it and cover it with baking paper.

2. Beat the room temperature butter and sugar with an electric whisk into a smooth batter. Add the beaten eggs in batches and a few drops of vanilla essence. Transfer to a large bowl, sift in various powders, add yogurt and carefully mix the batter.

3. Pour the batter into the mold and bake for 50-60 minutes or until there is no sticky batter attached when a bamboo skewer is inserted. After the cake is baked, leave it in the mold for 30 minutes before removing it from the mold to cool further and finally cutting it into three layers. While the cake is cooling, use a vegetable peeler to shape the chocolate into small curls.

4. Soak the pitted cherries in cherry wine for about half an hour, then take them out and drain them for later use.

5. Brush 1/3 of the cherry-soaked wine on the bottom of the first layer of cake. After whipping the cream, spread 1/5 of it on the cake base brushed with wine and then place half of the cherries on it.

6. Repeat the previous steps for the second layer. After applying the cream on the third layer, smooth it with a spatula. Use the remaining 2/5 of the cream to evenly apply to the sides of the cake. Press the scraped chocolate lightly on the cake and make your favorite styles. That's it.

Schwarzwald-cake is not difficult to understand, but to make it well, it requires your patience and persistence. Of course, I believe that if you persevere, you will be able to create different delicious dishes.
