How to Make Black Forest Cake

Instructions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

Step 3

Add eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.

Step 4

Gradually add hot water and mix until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin; this is normal.

Step 5

Divide the batter equally between the prepared cake pans.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 7

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on a wire rack.

Step 8

While the cakes cool, prepare the whipped cream. In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it begins to thicken. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, then continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
