Black Forest Cake

  Hello again. Yes, thats right, two posts in one day. This one is even better than the last. But first, a question, who likes chocolate cake? Because I happen to LOVE chocolate cake; with black forest being in second place for the best cake in the world.

  This black forest cake is a very simple cake to mix together. It's the stacking that's hard. If you're easily frustrated, I would reccomend making this cake on a day that you're in a good mood. For me just trying a new recipe puts me in a good mood, so this isn't a problem for me. But if you are easy to anger, then wait until you are in a blissful mood.

  This cake is mostly simple flavours layered to create a more complex taste. it's best served as an afternoon snack or a dinner dessert. No whipped cream required (there's enough in there already).

 

  Ingredients:

1 box dark chocolate cake mix

1 container cool whip

1 tbsp icing sugar

1 can cherry pie filling

Glaze:

6 squares semisweet chocolate, chopped

1/2 cup half and half cream

 

  Directions:

1. Bake cake according to package directions. In two, 8 inch, round cake pans.

2. Cut each cake in half. Making 4, thinner cakes.

3. When the cake is cooled, mix together the cool whip and icing sugar. Set aside one cup of this for garnish.

4. Add the cherry pie filling to the remaining cool whip.

5. Place the first layer of cake on a plate and smooth about a cup of the cherry cream onto it.

6. Repeat for the remaining layers.

7. To make the glaze, heat the chocolate and cream on medium high heat until fully incorporated.

8. Let the glaze cool until it's slightly pourable.

9. Pour the glaze over the cake, letting some run down the sides.

10. Let set.

11. Garnish with whipped cream and marachino cherries.
