Black Forest Cake from Scratch

For Isaac's birthday I made a Black Forest Cake. It is not funny how I always end up making cakes for birthdays, even though every cake I make falls apart! Seriously! Anyway...I thought I would share the recipe because everyone praised how good the cake was! The Black Forest Cake is my favorite cake, y'all! Double Chocolate Cake 1 can of Cherry Pie filling 1 Betty Crocker Chocolate whipped frosting 1 can of Redi-Whip Double Chocolate Cake 1 2/3 cups all purpose cake flour 1 cup evaporated cane juice 1/4 cup cocoa 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp sea salt 1 cup water 1/3 cup oil 1 tsp vinegar 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/2 cup chocolate chips 1/2 cup chopped walnuts Heat oven to 350'. Mix flour, evaporated cane juice, cocoa, baking soda, and salt. Mix in remaining ingredients. Butter and Flour 2 circle pans. (I had to use one 9x13 pan because we don't have 2 circle pans.) Bake until tester comes out clean. Cool cake and then release from pan. Take the cherry pie filling and layer one cake with it. You won't use all of it. Lay the other cake on top of it. Frost the whole cake. Take the redi whip and make a border on the top. Here is what mine looked like: Everyone said they really liked it... I guess these pictures show it, huh! :D Birthday Boy with his cake and ice cream! Caleb with his! He can't help but love it! LillieGirl just dug right in! If you make this cake, please let me know how it was and if you did anything different! Find me here: The Daily Planet ©AmandaDixon2008

Mmmm... looks yummy! I'm going to make one tomorrow and also put ready-made cheesecake filling in between the layers. I can't wait to see how it turns out! Love, Marshiemellow www.homeschoolblogger.com/drewsfamilytx

I'm With You

Posted by Mrs. G

Thursday was my sister's birthday and I thought the cake was going to be an utter disaster. I'll probably post about it later. I began decorating cakes when I was in elementary school - MANY years ago. So to have one be a wreck was a bit disconcerting. Leave it to my sweet Caleb to be ever at my side, encouraging me and praying with me, and God redeemed the cake. It turned out nice by the time all was said and done. Praise God and thanks for Caleb's sweet spirit. :D
