Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these desserts ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the Erdbeerkuchen crust and the Rhabarber Crumble topping a day in advance. Store them separately and assemble before baking. The mini Black Forest cakes can also be assembled a few hours ahead.

Can I substitute the fruits in these recipes?

Absolutely! Feel free to use other berries in the Erdbeerkuchen or apples in the crumble. You can also experiment with different fillings for the mini Black Forest cakes, such as raspberry or blueberry.

What if I don’t have Kirschwasser for the Black Forest cakes?

If you prefer not to use alcohol, you can substitute it with cherry juice or a cherry syrup. This will still give the cakes a delicious cherry flavor without the alcohol content.

How do I prevent the crumble topping from burning?

If the crumble topping starts to brown too quickly, cover the baking dish loosely with aluminum foil. This will prevent it from burning while allowing the rhubarb to cook through.

Can I freeze any of these desserts?

The Rhabarber Crumble freezes well. Let it cool completely, then wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. The Erdbeerkuchen and Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte Mini are best enjoyed fresh and are not recommended for freezing.
