Black Forrest Cake Experiment #1

This weekend I made my first attempt in making the black forrest cake ("hutt sum lum darn go"), with a nice recipe introduced by a friend (LG) . It was made with sour wild cherries soaked in vanilla beans, layers of chocolate cake ("joo go lik"), layers of butter cake , dark chocolate ganache, and dark chocolate mousse (cancelled the alchohol which was important to add). The cake was quite simple and not as difficult as expected, but surely very time consuming to build!!

The cake is very rich with a very strong chocolate (milk and dark chocolate) and burst of wild cherry flavour. Will probably modify/ change the butter cake and chocolate recipe so its more light. The cake failed in some aspects such as -

* The cake ended out way too tall, so had to delete a level, and having to swap the chocolate and butter cake levels around.

* realised the cream type used in the mousse was incorrect. The whipping cream is not same as whipped cream, which caused some dramas, had a chocolate waterfall in the black forrest. Haiiii....
