{"product_id":"black-forest-cake","title":"Black Forest Cake","description":"\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRight so this one's a bit of a throwback actually.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI don't know about you but when I was growing up Black Forest cake was like THE fancy cake. The one you'd see in bakery windows and think blimey that's a bit posh. Cherries. Chocolate. Cream. Layers of it. Felt very grown up and decadent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnyway we don't do it exactly like the old-school versions. Updated it a bit because honestly some of those recipes from back in the day were way too sweet. Like hurt your teeth sweet. So I messed about with it until it felt right.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHere's what we're working with.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eChocolate sponge first. Nice and dark. Damp. Not that dry crumbly nonsense that gets stuck to the roof of your mouth. Then we soak it. Just a little bit. Cherry juice and a tiny splash of something else. Nothing boozy really just enough to keep everything moist and bring out the fruit.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen the cherries. Proper ones. Not the bright red radioactive ones from a jar. Good dark cherries that actually taste like cherries. Some go in between the layers. Some go on top so you know what you're getting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCream in the middle and on top. Lightly whipped. Not too thick. Just enough to balance all that chocolate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThen chocolate shavings everywhere because why not.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWho keeps buying this?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHonestly it's all over the place age-wise. Had a bloke in his sixties order one last week said it was his wife's favourite since they were dating. Then a girl came in the next day maybe twenty two twenty three saying she saw one on Pinterest and had to have it for her birthday.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSo I dunno. Guess some things just stick around for a reason.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIf you're local to Bromley\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e you can order online and come grab it. Or if you want it dropped off somewhere nearby just message us and we'll figure it out. Couple days notice is always nice but if you're in a pinch message anyway and I'll see what I can do.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne thing I should mention. It's messy. Like properly messy to eat. The cream does what cream does. The cherries try and escape. Chocolate gets everywhere. But honestly that's half the fun isn't it. Cakes that are too tidy feel a bit sad.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRight. That's the Black Forest one done.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eProper old school but better. At least I think so anyway.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cakes \u0026 Bakes Original Bromley","offers":[{"title":"6\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049121614,"sku":null,"price":21.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049154382,"sku":null,"price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049219918,"sku":null,"price":28.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049252686,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049318222,"sku":null,"price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049350990,"sku":null,"price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049416526,"sku":null,"price":37.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049449294,"sku":null,"price":39.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049514830,"sku":null,"price":42.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049547598,"sku":null,"price":44.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049613134,"sku":null,"price":51.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"10\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049645902,"sku":null,"price":54.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049711438,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049744206,"sku":null,"price":62.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049809742,"sku":null,"price":69.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"12\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049842510,"sku":null,"price":74.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372049908046,"sku":null,"price":79.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14\" Inches \/ Eggless \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372049940814,"sku":null,"price":84.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream","offer_id":55372050006350,"sku":null,"price":94.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"14\" Inches \/ With Eggs \/ Vanilla Sponge + Vanilla Fresh Cream + Jam","offer_id":55372050039118,"sku":null,"price":99.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0922\/4680\/2766\/files\/31.png?v=1771941973","url":"https:\/\/cakesandbakesbromley.co.uk\/products\/black-forest-cake","provider":"Cakes \u0026 Bakes Original Bromley","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
