Number 4 cake

 

This my first attempt at making a number 4 cake. I did not have a square cake tin but had a round one and i simply followed the same basic technique of cutting the cake into 3 strips and it worked as you can see. So if  you want to make a number 4 cake and you do not  have a square tin just use your round one  and simple cut off the curved edges.

Black forest cake Part 2

After a lot of searching I finally got to make the cake and it turned out perfectly and tasted wonderful. This is the recipe that i used.

Black Forest Cake
Yield: 10 to 12 servings
Prep Time: 40 minutes
Cook Time: 30 to 35 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients: For the cake:
2 cups sugar
1¾ cups all-purpose flour
¾ cup cocoa powder
1½ teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup whole milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons
vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water

For the cherries:
1 can (20 ounces) cherries, drained
¼ cup Kirsch or other brandy

For the whipped cream:
1½ cups heavy cream, chilled
½ cup powdered sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Directions:
1. Preheat the oven 350 degrees F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round baking pans.
2. Whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add eggs, milk, oil and vanilla; beat on medium speed of mixer for 2 minutes. Stir in boiling water (batter will be thin). Divide batter between the two prepared pans.
3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes or until thin knife inserted into center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes; remove from pans to wire racks. Cool completely.
4. Reserve 12 cherries for decorating. Combine the remaining cherries and the Kirsch; set aside.
5. To make the whipped cream, combine the heavy cream, powdered sugar and vanilla extract and whip until soft to almost-stiff peaks form. Refrigerate whipped cream until ready to use.
6. Once the cakes are cool, level the tops and place one layer on a serving platter. Using a slotted spoon, remove the cherries and place on the cake layer. Top with about ½ to ¾ cup whipped cream, spreading over cherries (that's an estimation, as I didn't measure, just covered the cherries and spread into an even layer). Place the second layer on top, and frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream. Decorate as desired. (I used a 1M tip to pipe on top and placed the reserved cherries on top of each decorative star, and then lined a bottom border with chocolate shavings) Try it and tell me how it turns out.
