I used this recipe for its basic dough (no c. chips/cherries, & 10" + 8" springforms) and it is ABSOLUTELY PERFECT for a Black Forest cake -- just how my German mom's BFC was. It cuts flawlessly, holds together through all the BFC construction, and is perfectly absorbent for the kirsch. I am so impressed! I didn't have sour cream, so I used 1/2 c. sweetened condensed milk + 3/4 c. 2% milk. I also used 1/2 c. dark brown sugar + 3/4 c. white sugar. I accidently baked these at 200C (oops!) and they were done in 25 min --ha!-- and only a bit dark. This will definitely become my default BFC dough! Thanks!! -
This was a real hit!! My almost 4-year old grandson helped make it for a birthday party, so we left out the cherries. Sprinkling powdered sugar on top was better than any extra frosting calories. Everyone had seconds. Thanks so much for a great recipe from scratch!

I love cooking healthy meals for my daughters and husband. I am proud that as a family we live an active lifestyle that includes hiking, swimming, and running. Feeding four hungry stomachs with homemade foods is one of my greatest pleasures in life!
