Black Forest Soup Recipes

BLACK FOREST CAKE I

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch, round, cake pans; cover bottoms with waxed paper.
• In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 cups sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and 1 tablespoon vanilla; beat until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pans.
• Bake for 35 minutes, or until wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Loosen edges, and remove to racks to cool completely.
• Drain cherries, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine reserved juice, cherries, 1 cup sugar and cornstarch in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool before using.
• Combine whipping cream and confectioner's sugar in a chilled medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form.
• With long serrated knife, split each cake layer horizontally in half. Tear one split layer into crumbs; set aside. Reserve 1 1/2 cups Frosting for decorating cake; set aside. Gently brush loose crumbs off top and side of each cake layer with pasty brush or hands. To assemble, place one cake layer on cake plate. Spread with 1 cup frosting; top with 3/4 cup cherry topping. Top with second cake layer; repeat layers of frosting and cherry topping. Top with third cake layer. Frost side of cake. Pat reserved crumbs onto frosting on side of cake. Spoon reserved frosting into pastry bag fitted with star decorator tip. Pipe around top and bottom edges of cake. Spoon remaining cherry topping onto top of cake.

BLACK FOREST SOUP

Steps:

• 1. Sprout the dried red beans as follows: Soak beans in water overnight. Drain. Keep covered at room temperature. Rinse twice daily for one or two days until you see a little sprout emerging. Sprouting the beans enhances their nutritional value. You can also simply soak them all day as you usually would.
• 2. Cook the beans on low all day in a crock pot until tender. (This is what I did because I'm not home long enough to cook things that take a long time to cook. This soup took just two sessions of half an hour of hands on work. The rest while I was away.)
• 3. Salt and pepper the ground turkey to taste, then saute on high.
• 4. Add the ham and all the chopped vegetables and saute until translucent.
• 5. Add cooked beans including cooking broth, all the spices, the tomatoes, and water as needed for soup consistency.
• 6. Simmer on low for 2 hours to let flavors marry - or enjoy as is. It just gets better and better.
• 7. I didn't use any cayenne or other hot pepper in this, but you can heat it to your liking.
• 8. Serve with jalapeno cheddar cornbread and a simple green salad.
