Re: Looking for a recipe for a Large Black Forest Gateau
Would you not just double the recipe you have and cook in larger tins? I've always done that with cakes before - once you adjust the cooking times to suit the larger sizes you'll be grand!

I agree with hippychick, if I want to make a bigger cake I double the recipe, then you just fill in your tin with a layer of the sponge mixture or couple of tins however you are working it, and honestly if you make an error and you put too much mixture in get a really sharp knife when it is still kinda warm and cut it in half( I have done this many a time)
when it is all filled and covered you won't know it was cut in half! I have a recipe for a black forest gateau if you need it. ( oh and the excess mixture make a mini cake or something)

Re: Looking for a recipe for a Large Black Forest Gateau
100g butter
6 eggs 225g caster sugar 75g plain flour 50g cocoa powder 1/2 tsp vanilla essence filling two 425g cans of stoned black cherries, drained an syrup reserved 60ml kirsch 600ml whipping cream chocolate curls for decorating 1tsp arrowroot(hard to get so it's 1 tbs cornflour to 2 tbs plain flour mix and take your tsp out of it) For choc curls melt chocolate at least 4oz and let it dry on a baking sheet, then with a knife scrape! Grease a 9 inch tin and line with paper. To make the cake put the butter into a bowl place over a pan of warm water an beat until really soft but not melted. Whisk the eggs and sugar together in a large bowl standing over a pan of simmering water until pale and creamy and thick enough to leave a trail on the surface when the whisk is lifted. Remove from the heat and whisk until cool. Sieve the flour an cocoa together, then fold into the mixture with a metal spoon. Fold in the vanilla essence and the butter. Turn the mixture into the tin. Bake in the oven at 180c/gas mark 4 for about 40 mins until well risen firm to the touch and shrinks away from the side of the tin. Turn out of the tin onto a wire rack, cool for 30 mins. Now this recipe actually says to split the cake in 3!!!!!( didn't realise I had it in a recipe ) Cut the cake into 3 place one layer on a flat plate. To make the filling mix 5 tbs of cherry syrup and the kirsch together, spoon 3 tbs over the cake layer. Whip the cream until it holds shape then spread some over the sponge. Reserve a quarter of the cherries for decoration and scatter some over the cream, repeat the layer sponge,syrup,cream, cherries. Top with the 3rd layer and spoon over the kirsch. Spread a thin layer of the cream around the sides of the cake reserve some to decorate. Press on the chocolate curls reserve some for the top. Spoon the remaining cream into a piping bag fitted with a large star nozzle and pipe whirls of cream around the edge of the cake, top each with a chocolate curl. Fill the centre with the reserved cherries blend the arrowroot with the cherry syrup place in a small saucepan and bring to the boil, boil for a few minutes until the mixture is clear brush the glaze over the cherries.(use vodka or schnapps if you don't have kirsch, normal brandy or apple juice) Any problems let me know
