Baked my first ever cake and decided to have it be a Black Forest Cake
Have only made pastries and pies before this, so this was most certainly a frustrating but fun experience 😀 (apologies for the bad cross section pic :P)

Looks great. If you want cleaner slices, I recommend thickening the cream with cornstarch by heating it in a sauce pan. Once it’s cooled, mix the cream as usual to make whipped cream. Mix until soft peaks

I love cakes that look like this- soft & fluffy vs clean perfect interiors- unappetizing and dry looking. I would INHALE this!!!! Great job <3

Black Forest is a bold first pick, but you nailed the layers and that whipped cream looks light and airy. Once you’ve made this, every other cake will feel easy in comparison.

That looks *amazing* for a first try! Seriously, you nailed the layers and the cherries on top
GIMME A SLICE PLZ? 😍
That looks delicious.
My hubby usually requests Black Forest for his birthday.
It’s a lot of steps, but it’s worth it in the end
This looks so good and moist
You have chosen……….wisely
Looks good. I want! 😋
Good job!!! It looks yummy!! 😋 You’re inspiring me to bake a Black Forest cake. It just looks so hard and been holding it off. Haha 😂
Whipped cream is over mixed – starting to become butter. You can see how it has little “balls” beginning to separate.
Looks great !!
