Decadent black forest cake with a luxuriously rich chocolate cherry topping.
Ingredients:
  • 200g unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 200g (1 cup, firmly packed) brown sugar
  • 200g dark cooking chocolate, melted, cooled
  • 2 eggs
  • 190g (1 1/4 cups) self-raising flour
  • 55g (1/2 cup) almond meal
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) buttermilk
  • 30g (1/4 cup) cocoa powder
  • 300ml ctn double cream
  • 250ml (1 cup) thickened cream
  • 160g (1/2 cup) black cherry jam
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) Black Cherry Bourbon
  • 140g (2/3 cup) drained morello cherries
  • Chocolate curls, to decorate
  • 100g dark cooking chocolate, chopped
  • 60ml (1/4 cup) thickened cream
  • 20.00 ml Black Cherry Bourbon
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 160C (140C fan forced) and generously grease a 20cm round cake pan with melted butter, then line the base and sides with baking paper.
  • In a bowl, use electric beaters to cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the melted chocolate and eggs. Gently fold in the flour, almond meal, buttermilk, and cocoa until fully combined. Transfer the mixture to the prepared pan, leveling the top. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before moving it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • In a small saucepan, combine all the ingredients for the choc-cherry sauce. Stir over low heat for 5 minutes or until the mixture is melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
  • Beat the combined cream in a large bowl with electric beaters until firm peaks form. Gently fold in the jam for a swirled effect. Horizontally cut the cake into 3 even layers. Place the base layer on a plate and brush with half the bourbon. Spoon over half the cream mixture and sprinkle with half the cherries. Add another cake layer. Repeat the process with the remaining bourbon, cream mixture, and cherries. Finish by topping with the last cake layer.
  • Pour the chocolate-cherry sauce generously over the cake and sprinkle with chocolate curls for an elegant finishing touch.
