Black Forest Cake

There is this cake recipe that my mother would make when I was a child and it is one of my favorite indulgences to this day!  I didn't realize how incrediably easy it is to make until my mother passed her recipe onto me.  Now, I am doing the same for you. 

BLACK FOREST CAKE
(non-layered version)

Preheat oven @ 350 degrees
Grease & lightly flour pan (you can use a 9x13 or round pan)

• 1 box Devil's Food Cake Mix
• 1 can (21 oz.) Cherry Pie Filling
• 2 Eggs
• 1 -2 tablespoons Vanilla Extract

Mix all ingredients together in medium mixing bowl 
(Do not use electric blender, hand mix only)
*Notation: mixture will only be about 1/2 inch thick once you put it in the pan so don't worry if it looks thin.  The batter will rise like normal.  It is also going to be very dense and solid*

Bake in oven for 25-30 minutes

FROSTING

• 1 cup Sugar
• 5 tablespoons Softened Butter
• 1/3 cup Milk
• 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Mix sugar, butter & milk in small or medium sauce pan
Bring to a boil
Remove from heat and add 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
Stir until chocolate has melted completely into mixture

Dizzle over baked Black Forest Cake batter that has cooled
Decorate with cherries, whip cream and chocalote shavings to your heart's desire!

ENJOY!

peace & love
