After years of buying Black Forest Cakes I finally decided to make my own I was so pleased that I chose this recipe .. Instructions were very clear a easy to follow and didn’t have me in the kitchen all day . Ingredients were readily available.. The results FABULOUS!!! My husband loved his Birthday cake. This will definitely be made again and again. THANK YOU !!

Does the recipe make 1 or 2 cakes?

Hi Leslie. After I finished whipping my cream, whether real cream or dream whip, I added a couple teaspoons of vanilla instant pudding powder to the whipped cream to help set it if leaving the cake for a couple hours before eating.

Hi Lauren. I was looking for a Black Forest Cake recipe for my Aunts 92nd birthday. It’s pretty simple to make up but I needed to follow a recipe for guidance. I found yours very simple. I made my dark chocolate cake recipe I’ve had for nearly 30 years but followed the rest of your recipe. I had to have about 48 pieces ( my aunt lives in a Lodge). I made 2 cookie sheet cakes (1 9×13 cake per sheet). I poked small holes in the bottom cake and drizzled homemade chocolate sauce over and let it soak in. Spread 2 cans of cherry pie filling over bottom layer. Slid top layer on, poked holes and spread chocolate sauce over. Then whipped up some packets of Dream Whip to spread on top. Sprinkled on grated chocolate. The residents of the Lodge loved it and my Aunt said it was the best she’d ever eaten. I’m glad it turned out for them.

this is the umpteenth time I’ve tried making black forest cake for my husband. Your recipe is one of many I’ve tried and once again my cakes fell in the middle – no matter the recipe my cakes have fallen every. time. What on earth am I doing wrong? Why do they always fall? Why can’t I get fluffy and sturdy chocolate cake and why isn’t there a fu ll proof recipe out there that works every.time. Ugggh. So frustrating.

Hi! I know it left this comment a long time ago but I’ll reply since it might help someone else! I did the same thing as you I think..I used canned cherries but still followed the recipe for making the cherry filling and realized afterwards that you’re only supposed to follow that part of the recipe if you’re using frozen cherries. Oops! Luckily I did buy an extra can of cherries so I’ll have to use that to fill my cake. Lauren for those of us who are “recipe challenged,” maybe that should be clarified in the recipe. Just a suggestion. Cheers!

In reply to Leslie.

Leslie, that would be totally fine. You can just gently press the shavings onto the side of the cake using your hands.

Will I be okay to apply the whipped cream topping the day of and refrigerate right away until we eat dessert? How is the best way to apply the shavings to the side of the cake?
