Ingredients

Units Scale

Cake Base

  • 230 g unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 365 g caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 5 medium eggs, room temperature
  • 215 g plain flour
  • 75 g cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 240 g sour cream, room temperature

Kirsch Syrup

  • 50 ml water
  • 50 g caster sugar
  • 4 tbsp kirsch (adjust to taste)

Ferrero Rocher Topping

  • 400 g Nutella
  • 40 g chopped nuts (hazelnuts or preferred nuts)

Finish

  • 18 fresh cherries (2 per square once cut)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a square or rectangular baking pan with parchment paper.
  2. Make the cake: In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla extract and eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
  3. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt. Gradually fold dry ingredients into the wet mixture.
  4. Fold in sour cream until just combined. Pour batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.
  5. Bake for 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow cake to cool completely.
  6. Prepare the kirsch syrup: In a small saucepan, combine water and sugar. Heat until sugar dissolves, then remove from heat and stir in kirsch.
  7. Brush cooled cake generously with kirsch syrup.
  8. Prepare topping: Spread Nutella evenly over the soaked cake and sprinkle with chopped nuts.
  9. Cut into squares and top each with 2 fresh cherries.
  10. Serve and enjoy your decadent Ferrero Rocher Black Forest Cake!

Notes

  • Adjust kirsch to taste or omit for a non-alcoholic version.
  • Use room-temperature ingredients for a smoother batter.
  • Chill cake slightly before cutting to prevent Nutella from spreading.
