Black Forest Coffee Cake Recipes

BLACK FOREST CAKE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch, round, cake pans; cover bottoms with waxed paper.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 cups sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and 1 tablespoon vanilla; beat until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Loosen edges, and remove to racks to cool completely.
• Drain cherries, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine reserved juice, cherries, 1 cup sugar and cornstarch in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool before using.
• Combine whipping cream and confectioner's sugar in a chilled medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form.
• With long serrated knife, split each cake layer horizontally in half. Tear one split layer into crumbs; set aside. Reserve 1 1/2 cups Frosting for decorating cake; set aside. Gently brush loose crumbs off top and side of each cake layer with pasty brush or hands. To assemble, place one cake layer on cake plate. Spread with 1 cup frosting; top with 3/4 cup cherry topping. Top with second cake layer; repeat layers of frosting and cherry topping. Top with third cake layer. Frost side of cake. Pat reserved crumbs onto frosting on side of cake. Spoon reserved frosting into pastry bag fitted with star decorator tip. Pipe around top and bottom edges of cake. Spoon remaining cherry topping onto top of cake.

BLACK FOREST COFFEE CAKE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F. Butter a 9 X 13 baking dish. In a large bowl cream together the butter and sugar. Mix in the eggs and vanilla until the batter is fluffy. In another bowl whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Alternate adding the dry mixture and the milk, starting and ending with the flour, and mixing between each addition. Fold in the cherry pie filling and chopped chocolate, and then pour the batter into the prepared pan. To make the streusel topping cut the cold butter into the flour and turbinado sugar. My favorite way to do this is to grate the butter with a box grater and then combine everything with my fingers. Sprinkle the streusel over the cake batter. It will be clumpy. Just try to cover the surface area as evenly as you can and don't worry about all the gaps. Bake for 35 - 40 minutes - a pick inserted into the center will come out mostly clean when the cake is done (the buttery streusel will still look a little gooey on your toothpick). Let the cake cool before slicing.
