This whole week I've been craving chocolate cake. I've never made a Black Forest cake before, but I am so happy with how this cake came out. Black Forest is my new favorite cake! This cake is a chocolate depression cake sprinkled with Kirsch and covered in vanilla frosting. In between the two layers of cake is a layer of cherries. To make the cherry filling, I took a jar of sour cherries and heated them on the stove with some sugar then added some coconut milk with three tablespoons of cornstarch. The top of the cake has additional cherries and is finished off with a handful of chocolate shavings. Delicious!
