Black Forest Cake is one of my all time favorite cakes! Layers of moist rich chocolate cake nestled between luscious layers of lightly sweetened whipped cream and cherries! This cake is made with sour cherries, they have a rich dark flavor that compliments the other elements of this cake beautifully.
