I have always wanted to try Pierre Herme (the well know pastry chef from Paris) Black Forest cake recipe and finally manage to find another excuse to do this. PH's recipe called for chocolate whipped cream and Kirsch flavour whipped in between the pitted cherries and chocolate sponge which is very different from the standard Black Forest cake one used to get from usual bakery store. The cream really taste light and great though the steps involved are quite a fair bit compared to those standard Black Forest recipe that offer.
I made quite a few modification (reducing sugar in the chocolate whipped cream, added cherries on top of chocolate cream and use another chocolate sponge). Overall the cake is great but find that the Kirsch flavour can be stronger but it is just nice if you are offering the cake to kids.
However, I really need to perfect my skill on whipped cream piping and decoration.
