Foret Noire - second recipe (including photos)

Ingredients for one layer (you need to bake two layers):

• 2 eggs
• 50 grams of sugar
• 20 grams of almond powder
• 20 grams of flour
• 2 spoons with cocoa powder
• salt

Separate the egg yolks from the whites.

Beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar and the egg whites with the remaining sugar.

Mix the egg whites with the egg yolks, the cocoa powder, the almond powder, the flour and the salt.

Bake the layer at 180 Celsius degrees for 11-13 minutes.

Ingredients for the filling:

• 500 grams of sour cherry jelly (we buy it as "kirschgrütze" in Germany)
• 700 grams of cream

After the layers have cooled down, assembly the cake on a plate.

Add one layer then add the cherry jelly, then half of the cream.

Add another layer and on top add the remaining cream. You can decorate with grated chocolate and some sour cherries.

Enjoy!
