Hi Nupur,
I made this for my hubby's bday this weekend and it came out really well. The only problem I had was that the cake layer were a little hard probably because I didn't drizzle enough syrup but this recipe is a keeper! :) Thanks for the recipes and your tips on how to make it perfect:)

Nupur,

I notice that you said to use one tsp baking powder, but the method says baking soda. I checked th original recipe from where this was adapted and that recipe requires baking soda. Which one should I use?

Nupur, what a pretty entry! Too bad the canned cherries were disappointing for you. Still, you can hardly go wrong with a black forest cake! I think most everyone can agree it is a good dessert anytime!

Hi Julie, I think the imported cherries in syrup would work better because the syrup will contribute to the moistness of the cake.
The pitted cherries could be cooked in simple syrup and used the same way. With the jarred ones, the work is already done for you! Thanks for visiting :)

Hi Celia, I was surprised how easy it was to put together. I mean it only needs a dark chocolate

Artificial cherry filling or not, that looks good to me. This is one of those traditionally popular cakes that I've always wanted to do. Maybe I'll take heart from your experience and go ahead. :)

Nupur, I love Black Forest Cake, and haven't had it in years! You've got me thinking now. I have pitted tart cherries from the Greenmarket which I froze myself during the summer...or I have a lovely jar of imported cherries in syrup in my pantry. I wonder which would work better. What do you think?

Hi Mika, yeah the square pan worked out after all...I'm glad I tried making this!

Hi LisaSD, thanks :)

Hi Sue, thanks for the tip...I am sure better canned cherries exist, I just have to find them!

Hi Indira, yeah, the espresso powder really added a special taste to the cake. I think it heightens the chocolate flavor.

Hi Clare, thanks :)

I have been following your blog and it is really nice. I have even tried a couple of recipies and they have turned out well. What brand cherry pie filling did you use? do you get it canned or frozen?

As all your other desserts, this one looks heavenly!!!

For chocolate shavings, hold the blade of the knife perpendicular to the chocolate bar and pull it towards you - pretty much like curling gift ribbons. The chocolate must be straight out of the refrigerator.

That's a delicous cake, Nupur. Almost like tiramisu, except for the cherry filling. and I agree with you about canned cherry pie filling, that's some weirdo stuff.:)-

It looks quite fun and lovely. I agree though - I am not a big canned cherry fan either. It is just so difficult to pit the fresh ones. Sometimes middle eastern or german markets have canned sour cherries that, to my taste, are better than the icky red ones.

That looks decadent. Blackforest cake is my favorite too with the glaceed cherries on top. The shape is perfect for slicing into rectangular pastries like those in India.
