Como fazer Black Forest Gateau
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease and flour three 8-inch diameter round cake pans.
- Combine 4 large eggs, 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer until pale and thick (5-7 minutes).
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour and ¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder. Gradually add to the wet ingredients, gently folding until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup (1 stick) melted unsalted butter.
- Divide batter evenly among the prepared pans.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 5 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, prick each cake layer with a fork and brush with 2 tablespoons Kirsch (cherry brandy, optional).
- In a chilled bowl, beat 2 cups heavy cream with an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gradually add ½ cup powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, beating until stiff peaks form.
- To assemble: Spread about ⅓ of the whipped cream on the first cake layer. Top with ½ cup drained black cherries.
- Spread a little less than ½ of the remaining cream on the second layer. Top with the remaining cherries and place on top of the first layer.
- Top with the final cake layer.
- Frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream.
- Dust a serving plate with powdered sugar. Carefully transfer the cake to the plate.
- Garnish the sides with ½ cup grated semi-sweet chocolate and decorate with chocolate curls and fresh cherries.
