This Black Forest Cake is very decadent and delicious. It is one of my favorite cakes of all time. This cake has layers of chocolate cake and is sweetened by light whipped cream and cherry filling.
Ingredients
CAKE
1 box devil food cake mix
Ingredients called for on the cake mix box
FILLING AND TOPPING
2 cups of whipping cream
½ cup confectioner's sugar
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
½ tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
Heat oven to 350 degrees F. If using nonstick or coated pans, heat oven to 325 degrees F. Spray with baking spray with flour or grease two 8 or 9 inch round cake pans.
Bake cake as directed on the box. Once baked, cool for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and transfer to cooling rack. Completely cool cakes (about an hour).
In a bowl, beat the whipping cream and sugar using an electric mixer on high-speed until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix pie filling and vanilla extract. Set aside.
On a serving plate, place 1 cake layer. Spread with a third of the whipped cream and, then, 1 cup of cherry mixture on top of the cream and within 1 inch of edge. Place the 2nd cake layer on top. Spread the rest of the whipped cream on top and on the side to completely cover the cake.
Spread chocolate shavings on top and side. Top cake with cherries.
