Derrick, a friend who we call our 30-something teenage son, made a request just for his birthday. Complete with a story of his childhood birthdays, his wish was to have a homemade black forest cake for his birthday. Haven’t made one in a long while, but was up for the challenge. That week, met up with a work friend, and happen to mention that I was preparing to bake this said cake, and “coincidentally”, his son was having a birthday party, and he also loves Black Forest Cake. hint hint hint. damn it. ok. fine. i’ll just double up on everything. Never made identical desserts on the same go before, had quite a line assembly going in the kitchen.
Happy with the result, did my own cherry filling though may make it more tart next time. Result of my work in the fridge:
