Black Forest Cake
A filling of cherries and kirsch-flavored whipped cream is standard in this classic German cake. To poach the cherries, in a small saucepan over medium heat, bring 1 3/4 cups water and 1/3 cup granulated sugar to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add 1 cup fresh pitted Bing or other dark sweet cherries, reduce the heat to low and cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Let the cherries cool, then drain; discard the syrup. Frozen or jarred cherries may also be used. Cook the frozen cherries as directed above. Jarred cherries have already been poached.

Perfect to impress at tea time!
October 4, 2012
The cake is outstanding, follow exactly the recipe, it is not a common cake, the flour amount is right as this is a very humid, almost flourless chocolate cake, this is one of the reasons of such a delicate cake in the end. Before cutting the cake into layers let it stand for about 5 hours, it is better if you bake the it one day ahead.
Pros: Easy, Impressive, Will Make Again

I wish I had read the review on this, but I didn't and I agree totally that this cake was very eggy and tasteless. I too have made many other desserts and dinners from this site and this is my first disappointment. Somethings not quite right with this recipe.

Did they really mean 1/2 cup of flour?
October 23, 2010
I'm not sure that the recipe was written correctly on the webpage. It seems like it needs 1.5 cups of flour, NOT 0.5 cups of flour (seems way too low for a cake recipe). I followed the recipe to a T and the cake did not rise and it tasted very eggy. I have made several Williams Sonoma recipes which have all turned out great so I'm really disappointed in this one.
