Black Forest Cake

Firstly, sorry to Steph, Craftschmaft, NQN and Cakelaw. I couldn't respond to your comments in the previous post because there is something wrong with that particular post. Everytime I tried to reply it kept saying error. It was very furstrating and I hope it doesn't happen to this post or any future ones. Does anyone know where the blogspot helpdesk is? ; )

Anyway, on with the black forest cake I made for my hubby for Fathers Day. This wasn't a hard cake to bake or decorate. In fact I found it rather fun. Here is the recipe I followed, but made some adjustments to (such as not cutting each sponge layer horizontally to make 4 layers in total and using chopped chocolate biscuits to decorate the sides)

1st layer - chocolate sponge with cherry brandy drizzled over it (my local Woolworths Liquor store didn't have Kirsh so I went with another brand of cherry brandy)

2nd layer - cream and cherries

3rd layer - another chocolate sponge with more drizzles of cherry brandy

Ta da!!!! Whipped cream all over with curled chocolate in the centre and cherries for decoration. Oh and on the side I used crushed chocolate biscuits (Arnotts brand)

Sorry for the dark photo

This is an oldie but a goldie. I will definitely make this again, but add more cherry brandy to it next time ; )
