    Start by creaming just the butter then slowly add the sugar.
    When folding in egg whites or whipped cream into a batter, mix in about a third of the whites, then fold in the remaining.
    You can make chocolate curls by shaving a chocolate bar with a vegetable peeler.

    I grew up close to the Black Forest, so this cake is nothing new to me. But this is the first time I ever saw someone actually make the cake. BTW: The original is called Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cherry Cake)

    Oh sweetie you are so funny!! It looks very yummy!! A tip or two , hand mixers are powerful little jerks sometimes! If you kinda mash the butter into the sugar to wet the sugar it won’t go flying. (Been there done that flying sugar and flour so many times!)And if you cut the cake into layers while laying flat and using the knife flat and go across it’s less stressful. You did a great job! Just a couple tips from an old baker to make it easier and less stressful for you!!

      @@SageLilleyman Since you love vintage things, you can also find deeper mixing bowls at many vintage shops. They are almost always milk glass and originally came with stand mixers. So, when you use those, there is less spatter.

      That brings up so many childhood memories. You know, back when most people didn't have kitchen machines at home.
      I might have caused a bit of a mess using a handmixer myself, way back when!

      Sage you did amazing!! For someone who doesn’t like to bake your end result could fool anyone!! I Agree with all these tips. Also always wait until your cake is cooled before frosting. Especially with a whipped cream base frosting. I know it’s so hard to be patient when something looks so dang good 🤤 patience is a virtue when baking 😊

    I know my comment is late, but your cake looks wonderfully delicious! If you are ever worried about pouring hot liquid into an egg mixture, you can always temper it so the eggs don't scramble. But, you did a great job without having to do that. I love dining through the decades, it's so much fun. I grew up in the early 60s, but I remember my grandmother making a lot of dishes from the 40s and 50s. Some of them were quite yummy! So happy you are back, darling! You are very much loved by this community!❤ Merry Christmas, Sage!🌲

    Fab job Sage! Great video as always. Unsolicited advice incoming …. just a tip I recently discovered to cut cakes into layers- use an unflavoured dental floss and hold it taught, it can slide through the cake quite easily and enable the layers to be sliced relatively stress free! Merry Christmas to you and James, you are just gorgeous 🎄❤️

    Oh wow, that turned out so pretty! I think it actually looks better than the one on the cover.
    Note: If you are making a chocolate cake, instead of using flour to dust the pan, use cocoa powder.
    Let cake cool to room temperature before cutting and frosting. It should be less messy and not tear as much if it's room temperature.
    I just always start out very slowly, and increase speed as needed.
    I heard a tip a while back: When you want to cream butters and sugars together, hand mix for a minute to incorporate the sugars first, that way you don't end up with a dusty kitchen.

    As a German my mother made Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) alot, especially for birthdays, and it makes me all nostalgic. My mom did use alot of cherries from a glass (not maraschino) but then again didn't always make the sheets herself hahah. Everybody's cake is different, you did such a good job! ❤

    Cream the butter on slow, then add the sugar in three or so parts, each time mushing it in with the beater off and then starting the beater slow and held straight vertically. Mixer movement is from the shoulder not the wrist. :D
    Make chocolate curls with veritable peeler on the edge of an almost melted block of chocolate.
    You could have made the cherry filling go further with more kirsch and cornstarch.

    Beautiful!!. It is alot black forest cake. My favorite part of watching you bake is your resourcefulness to use up what you have and look what deliciousness you have. 1 more tip from old baker. Try a carrot peeler (vegtable) try long strokes along the thin sides of the chocolate. If you can get a thick bar it makes it easier. Let it warm in your hand a bit too. Lovely curls you will have. When using your cheese grater, I have the Same one. Just go slow on the flat side again warm the chocolate just a bit.
    Good Luck keep baking you are amazing.

  • @Angelaleeahava
    @Angelaleeahava ปีที่แล้ว

    It looks so beautiful and delicious!!! Easy tip to cream butter and sugar is have the butter room temperature kind of mushy. To make easy chocolate curls you can use a vegetable peeler. When you peel the chocolate, it makes little curls instead of crumbles. I love your channel you are such a sweetie!!!!

  • @joypowers563
    @joypowers563 ปีที่แล้ว

    Seasoned baker
    You’ve gotten a couple of good hints.
    Definitely make sure the butter is a bit warmer than room temp. You can do this by a few seconds in the microwave or place in an airtight container and warm in the sink filled with warm water.
    Mash the warmed butter into the sugar and really cream them well before adding sugar.
    You can substitute pecans or walnuts for allergies.
    When baking- measuring is precise. So use your measuring spoons and cups exactly.
    Putting the cake in the freezer for 30 minutes or so will help cutting it so much easier.
    Also, “ flick” the shaved chocolate onto the sides ( think of flicking flour onto a cake pan). Great job!

    Little note about the cooling of the chocolate...years ago by the time chocolate melted it was also very hot. I was taught to cool it enough so that could dap chocolate against your bottom lip without burning it. Once you could, it was fine to add it to eggs.

    Your cake looked marvelous. A tip from an old baker - when you have a dry ingredient like sugar or flour to mix in - start out the mixer on a very low speed and get those dry ingredients wet then turn the speed up to mix them.Keeps the dry ingredient from going all over the place.Last week I was making pizelles and did not follow my own advice - I had flour all over my nice clean kitchen and all over my mixer and myself.Yes, I could've just kicked myself - what happens when you try to hurry.
