Black Forest Cake Secret Recipe

Ingredients

For the cake:

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk

For the filling and topping:

1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.

Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.

Step 3: In a large bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the vanilla and mix to combine.

Step 4: Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Beat until just combined.

Step 5: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 6: Cool the cake in the pan for 10-15 minutes, then remove from the pan and cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 7: To make the filling, beat the whipping cream, sugar, and almond extract until stiff peaks form. Fold in the cherry pie filling.

Step 8: Spread the filling over the cooled cake. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips.

Step 9: Refrigerate the cake until ready to serve.
