Krzysia says
This cake looked amazing . I gathered my ingredients yesterday and made it with daughter today . Disappointed does not look like the picture at all the cream filling in not like whipping cream / mousse looking it crumbled , water got separated no one wants to eat it ! Yey happy bday to me wish i could attach picture . What a waste .had a cream went to garbage
Family On Keto says
Dear Krzysia, I am sorry to hear this. Is it possible that you have been mixing the cream for too long? This sounds too me like it was the case. To get nice and smooth cream, you should mix it until peaks are formed, not longer. Because if you continue mixing whipping cream after the peaks are formed it will start turning to butter. So basically, you made butter (crumbles) + buttermilk (that separated water you could see).

Greetings from Croatia! <3
Ela says
Hello Ines πββοΈ,
I made this Black Forest Cake "SchwarzwΓ€lder Kirschtorte" yesterday for todays Motherday and I can't wait to try it and if my Mom like it too!?!
I made a tsp Xantham Gum into the cream just to make sure that it wouldn't fall off of the cake and I cooked the cherries with Xylit and also a tsp Xantham Gum and a lttle bit rum because this consinstancy and taste is more like the original SchwarwΓ€lder Kirschtorte here in Germany βΊπ€©π€!
As soon as we make the "taste-test" today I will let you know how it was and I will post it on Instagram
Family On Keto says
Thanks Ela! How was the taste? Looking forward to hear! π
Tammy says
Omg I cant wait to make this, chocolate & cherries is my heaven on earth!
Family On Keto says
Please, let me know how you liked it! That's one of my favorite cakes ever π
Valentina says
Dali moze umjesto swerva stevija? I koja kolicina?
Family On Keto says
Moze eritrit + malo stevije. Npr. umjesto 1 Ε‘alice Swerva, stavite 3/4 Ε‘alice eritrita+ 3-5 kapi stevije. Ako se stavi samo stevija bude jak okus stevije, ako se stavi samo eritrit, osjeti se hladan osjeΔaj na jeziku. Kad se pomijeΕ‘a bude super.
Valentina says
Hvala puno
Jasmin says
I love the recipe , but the special German kick is missing, what gives the original Black forest cake itβs taste. The original cake has cherry brandy in it. You sprinkle a little on the baked dough sheet , and also a little in the cherry filling. Most recipes in the United States leaving it out, what unfortunately changes the entire taste of the original cake. Cherry brandy is a famous produced liqueur from the black Forrest.
Family On Keto says
Hi Jasmin, thank you for your comment. You are totally true. I like cherry brandy π
Jelena says
I made it with redberries. It was delicious!
Family On Keto says
Iβm so happy that you liked it! Thanks for your comment! β€οΈβ€οΈβ€οΈ
George Tierce says
My wife made this tonight......fantastic! I grew up in Germany and we would get Black Forest cake at least once a week from the local bakery. Being keto, I thought this dessert was for sure off limits. Thanks for the recipe.
Family On Keto says
Thank you for your comment, I am glad you enjoyed the cake! π π°
Cici says
Also, I have never been successful in cutting a cake layer in half evenly. One side ultimately comes out thinner than the other. Any tips?
Family On Keto says
Well, you can try with long knife. With long knife it is possible to cut it more precisely. If you are sure that you will not be able to do it - bake 2 layers separately. Just take the half of the mixture in one baking dish and another in a second dish and bake. For any case- here is a tutorial how to cut it properly. Let me know if you succeeded! Good luck! π https://youtu.be/RHyGSrCm8c8
Judy says
I made this yesterday for my birthday and it was SO GOOD! I only had an 8"x8" square pan but that worked fine with a little extra baking time. I love the cream topping, it set up beautifully in the fridge and wasn't overly soft. Thank you so much for this recipe!!!
Family On Keto says
I'm so glad you love it! Thank you for this nice comment! ππ
Cici says
What kind of cherries are these?
Fresh? Jarred?
Family On Keto says
Hi, Cici! Frozen, unsweetened cherries. π But make sure to remove all the water before you put it in the cake. Let me know how know how it was when you make it! π
