For his birthday this year Jack Jr wanted a Black Forest cake. He saw
one at Safeway one day and very badly wanted that chocolate cake with
cherries! I made this one for about $5, but you can probably do it
cheaper depending on prices where you live.
You'll need:
- One box Devil's Food Cake Mix and the ingredients to make it.
- Two
containers Betty Crocker Rich ad Creamy Dark Chocolate Frosting
(whipped frosting is too soft, regular chocolate is too sweet)
- One can of Cherry Pie Filling
Bake
the cake as directed into two layers. Cool the layers completely. On
the bottom layer build a ring of frosting around the edge. I piped mine
on with a pastry bag. You're building a wall to hold in the cherries. If
the icing is soft you might pop the ca
ke in the refrigerator before you add the cherries as a middle layer.
Once
the cherries are in place carefully place the top layer on top. Frost
the cake. I actually used one and a half cans of frosting.
I kept
the cake in the fridge until I served it because I was concerned about
the cherries oozing out, but I think it would have been fine. It was
yummy too!
