Valentine's Day Recipe Idea: Black Forest Cake

1/4/2013

My husband is the world's biggest chocoholic. No, really....He is...He will eat an entire chocolate cream pie in one sitting, and has been known to devour a huge 5lb Hershey's bar in just a few hours. It's actually pretty gross, in my opinion, but to each their own!

My husband loves my cooking, but often tells me he would love for me to make more desserts. I have never been into sweets, so I never took up baking. One of my New Year's resolutions is to bake at least once a week, and I will be sharing my recipes here!

Today, I made a Black Forest Cake. It was very easy, and is stunning to look at. The flavor? AH-MAZING! This would be perfect for that special someone on Valentine's Day!

Black Forest Cake Recipe

Ingredients:
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups white sugar
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cold
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
  • 1/2 cup cherry liqueur
Directions :
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 8 inch cake pans. Make sour milk by combining milk and vinegar. Set aside.
  2. Sift together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, coffee and vanilla. Stir in the sour milk. Gradually beat in the flour mixture, mixing just until incorporated.
  3. Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow cake layers to cool completely before filling.
  4. To make the cherry filling: Combine the cherry pie filling and cherry liquor. Refrigerate cherry mixture until chilled, then fill cake.

I'm a sort of chocoholic too. I say sort of because I do have my limits. I don't think I can take a 5lb (!!!!!) chocolate bar! That looks like such a yummy cake just going by how fancy it looks from your photo! Props for doing such a great job! I am seriously thinking about following in your foot steps and trying for that goal of baking once a week, but I think for me it's gonna have to start out a lot more like bake once every month! This recipe doesn't look so complicated, or at least the instructions don't scare me off from trying so I think I will save it so I can try my hand at this delicious cake! Thanks for sharing!
