Traditional black forest cakes are not apt to be found on anybody’s list of favorite easy recipes.
To make this cake from scratch is time consuming and labor intensive.
To cut the time I use a dark chocolate cake mix and homemade whipped cream for the frosting. My friend uses fat free whipped topping. Don’t forget to sprinkle the cooled layers with the cherry brandy (kirsch).
There really is no acceptable alternative to decorating your black forest cake with curled or shaved chocolate. Use a clean vegetable peeler or cheese grater.
Use maraschino cherries and the chocolate as decorations. Gently press some curled chocolate onto the sides of the cake. This is a perfect cake for an anniversary or adult birthday.
Once you’ve served this easy version of a black forest cake don’t be surprised if your family and friends are constantly clamoring for it. It will quickly become your specialty.
