Prepare this delicious black forest cake. It features a soft chocolate sponge, a delicious cherry filling, and a sweet cherry syrup with cherry liqueur. It's perfect for sharing with your loved ones.
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease three cake pans with butter and flour.
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Place the flour mixture in the mixer and add the sugar, eggs, sour cream, butter, and boiling water.
Beat until you have a smooth mixture.
Divide the mixture into three equal parts in each of the previously greased cake pans.
Bake for 25-30 minutes at 180°C.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes, then unmold them and let them cool completely.
For the filling: Place the pitted cherries in a pot and add the sugar and cherry liqueur until it boils and the mixture reduces a bit.
Strain the mixture and reserve the cherries and syrup.
Brush the three cakes with the syrup using a pastry brush.
For the frosting: Whip the cream until stiff peaks form and add the mascarpone cheese.
Sift the powdered sugar and add it to the mixer along with the vanilla.
Spread a light layer of frosting on one of the cakes and top with half of the cherry filling, then place another cake on top and spread more frosting on top along with the remaining filling.
Place the last cake on top and spread a light layer of frosting and decorate with cherries.
Cover the rest of the cake with frosting and use the same frosting to make decorations on the edges of the cake with a pastry bag and a star-shaped tip.
Finally, sprinkle some cocoa on top of the cake and stick the shredded chocolate on the edges.
