Boyfriend requested a black forrest cake for his birthday!

I tried Sally’s recipe and my goodness, I think this might be my favourite cake! I thought I wasn’t a fan of chocolate desserts mixed with fruit, but this completely changed my mind!

Although it’s supposed to be made with cherry’s, since some of our guests are allergic, I made a mixed berry sauce instead! Also increased the amount of ganache a bit since I had some extra heavy cream left. The recipe says 3x 9 inch (23cm) pans, but I used 26cm pans. I was worried they would be too thin, but I think it made the cake to frosting ratio even better!

    *cherries – why has this faulty apostrophe spelling become so widespread?

    I use her chocolate cake recipe and it’s great. The recipe here seems to be exactly the same, except that the chocolate cake recipe specifies Dutch process cocoa, but this one specifies natural. I wonder why that one detail was changed for the black forest?
