Black Forest Gateau

The Black Forest is one of the oldest cakes in our book and still one of the most ordered. Rich chocolate sponge, generous whipped cream, dark cherry compote with a touch of kirsch, and a flurry of chocolate vermicelli to finish - the recipe has barely shifted in a century, because there has been no good reason to change it.

Cherry, cream and dark chocolate, layered

Deep cocoa sponge is filled with whipped cream and a dark cherry compote, then enrobed in chocolate vermicelli for the texture this cake has always traded on. Hand-piped cream rosettes, Amarena cherries and chocolate shavings give each gateau the finish you'd hope to see on a trolley in a proper patisserie.
