Black Forest Gateau Recipe - SORTED

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

Crack 3 eggs into a mixing bowl.

Whisk the eggs to incorporate air.

Add sugar to the eggs and whisk together.

Fold in flour and cocoa powder into the egg and sugar mixture.

Whisk double cream until stiff peaks form.

Line a baking tin and pour the sponge mixture into it.

Bake the sponge in a preheated oven at 200°C for 10 minutes.

Remove the sponge from the oven and let it cool.

Trim the edges of the sponge to remove any rough parts.

Cut the sponge into four equal square pieces.

On three of the sponge layers, spread cherry jam.

Optionally, soak the layers with Kirsch (cherry brandy).

Spread sweetened whipped cream on top of the jam layer.

Grate dark chocolate over the whipped cream layer.

Stack the layers, pressing down slightly to squish out the jam and cream.

Finish with a final layer of whipped cream on top.

Top with cherries.
