does any one have any recipes for a black forest cake for about 20 people for my mum inlaws 85th birthday thanks.
Bumping for ballet12.Am sure there was someone here last year who was an expert on the authentic Black Forest Cake.
BLACK FOREST CUPCAKES (from Celebration Cupcakes, by Tamara Jane)
Chocolate Mud Cupcakes
Ingredients
225g self-raising flour (or 220g plain flour and 5g baking powder)
150g plain flour
30g cocoa powder
250g butter
200g dark chocolate, chopped
400g caster sugar
2 eggs
375ml hot water
2 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 180 C. Line two 12-hole muffin trays with cupcake papers.
Stir together the dry ingredients.
Melt the butter, chocolate and sugar together in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave. Stir until smooth.
Allow to cool to just warm then beat on low speed, gradually adding the dry ingredients. Beat in the eggs, hot water and vanilla.
Divide the mixture evenly between the cupcake papers. Bake for 20 minutes or until the cakes spring back when lightly pressed in the centre.
Remove the cupcakes from the trays and allow to cool completely.
Cherry Filling
490g morello (sour) cherries
125ml water
125g caster sugar
4 Tbsp cornflour
Combine all ingredients in a small saucepan. Slowly bring to the boil, stirring constantly. Boil gently for two minutes until smooth and thickened.
Pour into a container and cover. Refrigerate overnight. This will keep for up to two weeks in the fridge.
Thick Ganache Icing
400g dark chocolate, chopped
375ml cream
Heat the cream until just boiling. Add the chocolate and stir until smooth. Cover and leave overnight, unrefrigerated. This will keep for up to three days at room temperature, or a week in the fridge.
Assembly
Use a spoon or melon baller to scoop a small piece out of the top of each cupcake. Spoon in some cherry filling and place the scooped out cake back on top.
Fill a piping bag fitted with a round or open star tip with the ganache (soften it with 10-second bursts in the microwave if required, until soft enough to pipe) and pipe swirls on top of the cupcakes.
