For once, I'm lost for words! 😮
TREMENDOUS
Thank you. It's ridiculous! Best, Rik
@BackyardChef I'm alright now. It's not ridiculous. It looks beautiful. Put the kettle on, I'm coming for a cuppa and a piece of that cake.
You are welcome. Thank you. Best, Rik@@lizhannah8412
That squashing the cake is a good idea, Never crossed my mind to do that, I’ve always cut a bump off, not any more🤔
It does make the cake a little more dense. Cutting off keeps it lighter. Thank you. Best, Rik
This was one of the first thing we cooked in Domestic science! 👍[ When Domestic science still existed!] Happy days of the seventies!
Yes, good memories. Bet, Rik
That was enterprising of your teacher. We didn’t get past the Victoria sandwich.
Beautiful! A perfect gateaux for a special occasion, flattening the sponge when it comes out of the oven is such a brilliant tip!
Thank you. The only draw back - flattening makes the sponge a little more compact. To keep it light, just level off with a knife. Best, Rik
Im straight back in home economics room 1970's making this ❤happy memories and taste buds 🌹
Great memories. Best, Rik
My mother used to take me to Dickens and Jones just to have tea and get a piece of this cake! Heaven!
Good memories. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
This cake should still be as popular today as it was back in the 70s. Good is good.
Thank you. Best, Rik
I'm coming round young man ....Even if there are only crumbs left..😘😘 Henrietta.😘😘
You would always be welcome. Thank you, see you soon. Best, Rik
I’ve just gone back to the 70’s! Prawn cocktail to start, chicken in The basket with chips or steak in peppercorns sauce, and Black Forest gateau to finish!
Those were the days. Best, Rik
This guy is going to explode. He’s really got the goods.
A fat belly! Thank you. Best, Rik@@fussyrenovator7551
Hes doing me a volovaunt recipe too hehe x
This has always been my speciality here in Germany. I have never used fresh cherries though.Good job Rik.Hats off.
Thank you. I'm sure the cakes in Germany are way better. Germany being proudly known for them. Rightly so! Best, Rik
O. YOU ARE KILLIN ME,!
Sorry! Best, Rik
🤩 LOOK AT THAT!! Indeed.
Yes, ridiculous! Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef 👍🏻😂
Wow Rik, that looks absolutely fantastic, confectioners window worthy, looking forward to trying this one, thanks Rik.
Hope you enjoy. Not sure about the window worthy. Long time since I made a cake. Best, Rik
I went on a Cruise out of New York City years ago to Bermuda. In German night, one if the deserts was Black Forest Cake. That was so unbelievably delicious, so good.
Sounds amazing! Best, Rik
Boy that reminds me of the 60s..... my first restaurant meal ever..... at a Berni Inn Steak House.
Bring on the prawn cocktail!... BFG was always on the dessert menu.
Now there is a memory right there. Thanks for sharing. Best, Rik
OMG!!! Be still my heart!😍
Ha ha ha, Thank you. Best, Rik
I love cherries. I also miss Black Forest Cakes. I haven’t had one in ages, and really need to change that!
Rik! This is epic! I totally agree, if you’re going to make a cake, go three layers. Having the scale is very helpful, but you can do it without. Sometimes I have used leftover coffee in place of water, it was very good. Your cake is beautiful! 😍
Thank you. Best, Rik
Can't beat 70's food. Black forest my favourite dessert. Going to try this, thanks for sharing
Thank you. Takes me back. Best, Rik
If you haven't got kirsch or cherry brandy to soak the cherries in or to moisten the chocolate cake, dark rum is also a good substitute. An added benefit to soaking the cherries in alcohol is that it also preserves them longer.
However if word gets out that you have such a magnificient cake at your house, your neighbors and friends would find an excuse to "happen to be in the neighborhood and drop in" and it would quickly disappear without a trace, evaporating before your eyes. You would be fighting to get a portion for yourself if you weren't quick enough. There's no manners or honour among adoring cake lovers when it comes to more eyes looking at it than there are slices! 🎂 👀
A definite plate-licker you made there Rik (of course when nobody's watching)!
In Germany or Austria, this would be traditionally served with a stronger brew of high quality coffee (Kaffee und Schwartzwalder Kirsch Torte). Bravo!
Thank you. Great tips! Appreciated. Best, Rik
This looks fantastic ! What a feat to assemble, and then make the 1st slice. Very stable and nicely decorated. Fresh cherries are a change, as the Austrian type uses canned sour cherries. Thank you for all your beautiful work and for the recipe.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow my favourite cake 🥰
Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks great! One of my favourites. The brand Opies do black cherries in a kirsch syrup which are perfect for a black forrest forest gateaux. Great to mix the syrup in the cherry jam on the cake to give it some oomph 😋. About £5 a jar
Thanks for sharing that. Good tip there for anyone who can get hold of that jar. Thank you. Best, Rik
M & S also do a jar of black cherries in kirsch syrup, not sure if it’s available year round or just over the Christmas period, but they’re delicious. Great to have with some creamy vanilla soft scoop ice cream!🍨😋
You’ve done yourself proud 👍😍
Thank you. Best, Rik
That's a show stopper ric 🍒🍒🍒
Thank you. Best, Rik
Two favourites - chocolate and cherries! Who could resist.
Some nifty tricks demonstrated.
👏🎉👏
Thank you. Best, Rik
You're the 1st person I've ever seen squash the dome down. Everyone else cuts it off. I like your way better. Used to make my version of this years ago, even as a large rectangular cake it was a treat.
Thank you. I don't see the point in cutting. Not for something that will be covered. Best, Rik
It's absolutely amazing, thank you for sharing.
Glad you like it! Thank you. Best, Rik
A very beautiful cake. Would be lovely for a special occasion!
Cheers, Thank you. Best, Rik
Woohoo, you’ve out done yourself, Rik! I’m heading over 💜
A crazy one for sure. Always welcome. Best, Rik
So much fun! Thanks Rik!!😅
Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, nothing serious on this channel. Food we can all cook. Thank you. Best, Rik
Phenomenal!!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Salivating, cake is my fav💖💖💜YUM
Thank you. Best, Rik
Chocolaty Cherry whipped creme tower of pure joy. My eyes are earing it right now. Another fantastic sweet recipe. Thanks chef Rik 😊❤
My pleasure 😊I understood! Best, Rik
Now that's a cake hahaha.
It looks awesome. I can’t wait to try it.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hi Rik, I've just come across your channel and I'm really enjoying your videos! Thank you so much for including a non-alcoholic substitute- it makes following the recipe so much easier for me personally!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Oh my word, old school at its best..love making this cake and it always has that wow factor..just lush😊😊😊
Thank you so much! Best, Rik
Well done, looks awesome 😁👌
Thank you. Best, Rik
My signature cake.
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
WOW! 🤩 “Look at that!”😍 How on earth did I miss this video, it takes me right back down memory lane to the 60/70’s, was always on the Christmas menu in our house!😋 You did a fantastic job Rik, & well done cutting & balancing that 1st slice from cake stand to plate & still in an upright position! Would love to try this, but too big for me on my own & I’d have to empty all the contents of my fridge to fit it in!😂 Might try a scaled down version at some point. Bet it tasted sensational & hope your wife & family enjoyed it too!🥰 Thanks for sharing your skyscraper BFG! 👨🍳👌❤️
Thank you. Best, Rik
Good Morning, chef Rik! Have been working and catching up on your latest videos. This looks FANTASTIC! Last weekend, I made the Dundee Fruitcake. It was incredible!!! Family loved it. THANK YOU!
Thank you for watching, appreciated. Thanks for trying some of the recipes and sharing. Best, Rik
Yummy looks great 🎉
Thank you. Best, Rik
That cake is ridiculous! You’ve outdone yourself Rik it’s 🤩
Thank you 😋Ha ha ha. Best, Rik
So enjoy your videos! I have subscribed all the way in South Africa. My husband’s late father was a Yorkshireman so it is really interesting to watch the recipes from up north☺️
Thank you. Love to SA. Best, Rik
Now thats a BIG BOYS cake, looks great
Aye, Ridiculous, mate. All the neighbours here couldn't believe their eyes. They got a big slice and some cherries. Best, Rik
I mean my Eyes are Eating it right now
Gotta make it asap😂😊❤
Hope you are enjoying it. Best, Rik
Rick after about 8 slices, I’d expect to be going the the stairs one by one so cherry brandy for me 😂
Thank you. Best, Rik
Wish I lived next door Ric. You might throw some over the fence. Was my late husbands favourite cake.
There would be a gate to walk through. I would gladly share. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef You are a true gentleman. Thankyou Ric.
@@kerrypocock1075 Thank you. Best, Rik
You do fabulous cakes and this is a much loved blast from the past!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Holy Cow, I am DROOLING now....
Thank You. Best, Rik
Wow that’s just massive! mmmm lovely 😊
Yes, ridiculous! Best, Rik
This has to be a phenomenal cake! Have you ever used a cup of coffee in place of water in your chocolate cake? I’ve just recently started doing it and like the results.
Yes! It delivers the same result with a tad flavour. Many folks do not think to include water. Best, Rik
My gosh, that looks like a real celebration cake! My best friend loves black forest cake. I will try to make this for her. It's funny that you said it looks like a skyscraper, I was thinking that the slice you cut looked like the Flatiron Building here in New York! Well done. I liked the tip about squashing down the dome of the cake.
Thank you. Hope your friend enjoys it. Best, Rik
Omg ..I demolished one to myself at Xmas..and not ashamed either 😅😅 x
Good on ya. Nowt to be ashamed of. Enjoyment! Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef that's what I thought too lol x
Omgomgomg😍😋🥰❤️❤️
Thank you. Best, Rik
😂🤣🤣I was off looking at your extensive collection of Thai dishes when I got sidetracked on this CAKE! Oh, my word! Not bad for a pie man😁 BTW, it looks like you already have a great collection of Thai dishes. I'll just get myself busy looking at those! Thanks so much for all your hard work. My 55 yr old daughter is in Bali with Grandaughter.(May13-23) Their food looks interesting..probably all connected and similar in the Southeast Asia world.😎
Thank you. There are a few real Thai dishes on here - I don't do anything "Authentic" I make real food. There is absolutely nothing that is "Authentic" A chef and home cooks, cook the same dish differently - all the channels with the "Authentic Thai" nonsense. If you cook these dishes on here you will be making real Thai food as we do here at home! Best, Rik
❤❤❤ This should be fun to try to make. It will be fun to eat my mistakes.
Yes a mistake like this is good to eat. Best, Rik
That is just fabulous yum yum😂😂😂
In my day it was Home Economics. Hated that teacher. Love Rick😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
Wow, Rik! This cake is wonderful, my mouth is watering 😂. Our mother used to make it, long time ago, for special occasions. With two layers only, but so good 😊
Sounds great! Thank you. Best, Rik
Amazing
Thank you. Best, Rik
Now I like a bit of chocolate normally dark chocolate but not in cakes or ice-creams etc but even I have to admit that cake looks damn good and I might well be tempted 🤣.
Thank you. Best, Rik
Just down the road from you Rik. 👍
Like I've said before. I love your no nonsense aproach.
BIG 👍
Cheers, mate. No point in making complicated. Thank you. Best, Rik
My favourite cake 😋
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks Great!
WOW! fantastic cake. Thank you .
Thanks a lot 😊Best, Rik
That is awesome love it
Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks so yummy, I have to make that!
I have my HYSapientia, its great!
Hope you like it! Still learning here! Best, Rik
Hello Chef Wow Wow that’s just a masterpiece.. I can’t wait to try your recipe as that’s my favourite cake. Thank you do much for showing this to the world 🌍.🤗
You are very welcome. Best, Rik
Wow Rik your cake looks beautiful bfg has always been one of my favourites takes you straight back to the 70s , great how the half cherries hold up the layers great tip iv always used pie filling but I bet fresh cherries are so much better , great job enjoy it 👏🏻thank you Amanda xx🍒
Thank you very much. Best, Rik
The should be a government health warning on this site . OMG ya can warn me all ya like 👍 😂
Ha ha ha, love it, Gail. Thank you. Best, Rik
That looks amazing , bet it tastes fantastic, and the fake cherry brandy I need to make 👍 great tip
Hope you enjoy. Yes that fake tip does work really well. Best, Rik
That looks amazing 😍
It does? It's ridiculous tasty though. Thank you, Best, Rik
Cherries in Thailand? Wow didn’t know that was possible. Maybe imported. Looks delicious.😋☕️😋
Yes imported. In Go Warehouse, and rhubarb, swede, raspberries, blue berries. A good selection. Have a look. Go Warehouse started around Bangkok and is now opening around Thailand, in competition with Makro and its an excellent store. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef good to know! Thanks for the info.🙏🏼♥️
You are welcome. Best, Rik@@Avemarianow
What a gorgeous 🎂!!!!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Ha ha ha. I remember how we turned this cake into the 70's version you made. Still delicious.
Yes nowt fancy here. Best, Rik
That looks delicious!
Thank you. Best, Rik
Looks amazing, im like you with not being a cake person, especially chocolate cake. I would love to your version of a coffee and walnut cake. That is the only cake to make my cake "guard" drop 😂
Cheers, Jamie. Will do it a little later. Best, Rik
That's SO good and all the best, take care all. I made one at school one time .And it tasted so good. 😄😄😄👍👍👍👍
Thank you. Best, Rik
Hello I’m very much enjoying your videos and please don’t stop ! I made your Scottish Shortbreads and they were delicious ! Can you substitute Maraschino cherries? Please let me know ..
thx and I’m still watching…
Thank you! Will do! Yes sub anything. Always taste and adjust, use the ingredients you have. No strict rules in cooking. Best, Rik
I didn’t know one was supposed to make it with fresh cherries ❤
That your choice. Thank you. Best, Rik
That's insane Rik! It should come with instructions: individual portions should not exceed an arc of 1 degrees from the center.
Still, looks great!
Ha ha ha, cheers, Eric. Best, Rik
The only thing that would improve this cake, would be to use tart cherries instead of sweet cherries. And of course, those cherries would have to be soak in Kirsch first.....
Good tip! Best, Rik
There's me trying to lose weight 😮 You only live once, I have to do this ❤ gorgeous 😍
Yes only once! Thank yo. Best, Rik
I hate cherries but i made the cake whipoed cream and used blackcurrant jam with the cream inbetween the layers of cake
Sounds good! Best, Rik
Brilliant that Rik, and i realise my mistake making my first cake in the hysapientia. In my standard oven I always do an all in one mix and its perfect all the time. But its the wrong method for the hysa now ive seen this great delicious video i realise i must split the mix and use the 165c temp and minutes as you did here .
Fab recipes and vids Rik. Cheers
Cooking with the air fryer is a challenge sometimes. If there was an variable fan throughout the heat range it would be a game changer. To make the layers not so compact, don't squash them. Just take the top off with a knife when cooled. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef yes definitely either no fan plus option of variable fan would be like you say a game changer as I'd say it's that intense blast of heat circulating makes it a case of keeping an eye on the cakes more. I'll be changing down the actual temperature to compensate. Those heat bars are a bit of a nuisance too I don't see the need as due to the fan action being so high on most modes there isn't the need for them. Cooking sausages etc for instance the fat drips off onto the bars causing smoke which could be an issue. You put a tray above them to stop that and the heat from them is blocked a tad. They fixed both the fan and bar issues and include a manual mode that air fryer oven would be the best on the market. Cheers Rik
Agreed. I think as new company changes, are probably being developed all the time. @@martyn-jq3cc
Wow wow. I'm lost for words. That looks amazing. Dark chocolate goes very well with cherries. Where did you get those big blocks of chocolate from? I sent a friend of mine your link the other day. She loves baking.
Thank you. I don't remember to be honest. I get when I can, when I see and store it in the fridge. Best, Rik
Had some of them discount Cherries myself Rick. In facr i was thinking they were one of the same before you said anything.
Nice one Andy. I got 4 kilos of Rhubarb. Have to make something now. Cant waste it. Probably make some rhubarb and ginger jam for me. Best, Rik
Cake looks amazing mate. Love Black Forest.
Omg cut me a slice of that!
Thank you. Best, Rik
❤❤❤❤😊
Thank you. Best, Rik
If you like less sweet cakes like I do, try a yellow cake with stabilized whipped cream and strawberries. It’s divine.
Sounds great. How do you make yours? Best, Rik
Sounds like Strawberry Shortcake.
I wish I had good kidneys so I could sell one to buy the cherries to make this 😂
Steady! I was extremely lucky they were selling off at 80% reduced because some of the cherries were damaged and turning bad in the container. I look through the one or two and if the rest are ok, a bargain is to be had. Lucky this time. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef 80% off would never happen here. That actually blows my mind a bit 😯. 30% at best, off a $20 bag of fresh during the season. Right now you can only buy frozen and they’re around $6, so maybe no organ selling needed haha. Might have to settle for grandma’s maraschino cherry bread for the moment though. Those are the $3 cherries
Was the cocoa the normal stuff or Dutch processed?
Twas in a bag. Best, Rik
Shumai Rik. What's the difference in Baking soda & Bicarbonate of soda ? Thanks. (South Wales UK)
None at all both the same just a different name. Thank you. Best, Rik
@@BackyardChef Diolch Rik.
😊 Thank you. Best, Rik@@daverees986
You’re doing nothing for my waistline. 😂😂😂
Sorry! Best, Rik
All those cherries- that’s gotta be one of your five a day, right?
Yes, indeed! Best, Rik
Well my gallbladder and arteries would object but I would have a good effort at eating the lot!!
Ha ha ha. Steady! Best, Rik
I cheat and use cherry pie filling with rum added to it
Lovely! Thank you. Best, Rik
🤤🤤🤤🇦🇺🇦🇺💜💜
