Preparing Cherry Filling for Black Forest Cake

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Jamaica from Jamaica's Cakes in West L.A. on behalf of Expert Village. In this segment, we are going to make our cherry filling for our Black Forest Cake. You're going to need your saucepan from earlier. And, we have cherries, sugar, cornstarch and water. In this first step, we're going to take our saucepan and cherries over to the stove and turn that one to a low heat, not to burn the cherries. And, we're going to also add in our water. Which is going to help produce that kind of jelly consistency that ends up in the cherry filling. While this is slowly coming to a boil and cooking, we're going to combine our dry ingredients. We're going to take our half a cup of sugar into a larger bowl, with a quarter cup of cornstarch which is going to be our thickening agent. And, we want to whisk these two together so that there is no lumps of cornstarch. Thus no lumps in your cherry filling."
