Kitchen know-how

Tips for Black Forest Cherry Cake

Let the biscuit cool completely

Warm biscuit melts cream and tears more easily when sharing. Bake the ground the day before and store well packaged at room temperature.

Use cherry filling solid and cold

The bound cherries completely cool and avoid excess juice. A warm or liquid filling would run into the biscuit and shift layers.

Cool cream and tool well

Sprinkle cold cream in a cool bowl and only work until firm. Overturned cream becomes grainy and can be spread worse.
