BLACK FOREST CAKE

When it comes to cake this Black Forest Cake recipe is the one you need to keep on hand! Full of flavor, it is a beautiful classic cake that everyone will adore!

Ok, by now you all must know that I’m addicted to cake. I’m not to particular on the type of cake…sheet, bundt, cup, roll, but in all honestly, layer cakes are my weakness. I love frosting, and I love filling, so sometimes just a regular cake that has frosting on top just isn’t enough for this sugar addict.
I’m a huge fan of black forest. You can see my love with these Black Forest Waffles, Black Forest Cupcakes and Black Forest Sweet Rolls! There is something about the flavor of chocolate and cherries that just reels me in and keeps me coming back for more!
Like for Christmas I made these Cherry Brownie Bombs that were seriously SERIOUSLY addicting! It was brownies crumbled and mixed with chocolate frosting and some cherry preserves and then you take the mix and wrap it around a cherry and dip it in chocolate, I was in heaven. Literal heaven.
