Mini black forest cake

בס"ד

A black forest cake is made out of tough layers filled with whipped cream and cherries.

I've decided to upgrade the cake by making the layer out of brownie.

We actually don't quite like cherries and all sorts of jams in our cakes, so I made some cakes without any touch of fruits.

The two versions came out really good, but the fruitless one was the One for us.

Ingredients:

The brownie recipe is from here:

232-gram butter

226-gram dark chocolate

1 1\2 cups sugar

4 eggs

1 1\4 cups flour

1/4 Tsp. salt

1 Tbsp. vanilla extract

For the filling:

Whipped cream

Sugar

Jam or confiture

Grated dark chocolate

Preparation:

Heat oven for 175 degrees Celsius (347F).

Start making the brownies:

Melt the chocolate and butter together.

Add sugar and eggs and stir for a minute.

Add the flour, salt, and vanilla extract and mix until the mixture is well blended and smooth.

Grease a sizeable squared pan with oil and spread the brownie mixture evenly.

Bake for about 15-20 minutes, until the brownies are steady, but a toothpick inserted to the cake comes out a bit moist.

Take the brownies out of the oven and let it chill.

Cut the cake into circles,  and whip the cream with sugar (my suggestion is to sweeten it with just one-two spoons).

 start building the layers:

Take one circle, spread some confiture in the middle, spread whipped cream, and put another layer of brownie. Spread on top more of the confiture, pipe whipped cream, and garnish with grated chocolate and cherry.
