Single-serving Black Forest Cake

You’ll need

• Glasses or verrines
• Fresh cherries cut in two + whole for garnish
• One recipe of your favorite chocolate cake or a box cake.
• Whipped cream (with vanilla sugar if you want to)
• Grated chocolate for garnish

Per glass (of course it depends on the size of your glass!) mine were a little more than 1 cup

• 2 tiny cakes (cut with a cookie cutter)
• About 6 to 8 half cherries or to taste!
• 1 whole cherry
• About 1/3 cup whipped cream
• Grated chocolate to taste

Prepare your favorite chocolate cake. Once again I used Sing for your Supper’s perfect chocolate cupcakes recipe. Bake it so that it will be quite flat (you can use a cookie sheet for example), about 1 inch. Reduce the baking time if you use this technique. When it’s ready and cool, use a round cookie cutter (the size that can enter your glass) and cut 2 round cakes per glass.

Cut the cherries in two, remove the pit.

Prepare your whipped cream. Add some sugar to taste (optional).

Assembly

• Put a cake at the base of the glass.
• Add the cherries.
• Add some whipped cream.
• Add another cake on top.
• Using a piping bag with the tip of your choice, pipe a whipped cream swirl on top.
• Garnish with grated chocolate and a fresh cherry.

(How’s that for a quick assembly explanation;) )
