This Homemade Black Forest Cake Recipe is so moist and delicious you won't be able to put the fork down! I pair my amazing chocolate cake with delicious cherries, and a little kick to make the perfect black forest cake that will impress at your next event! Take your amateur baking to the next level with this show stopping cake!
I wanted to keep this cake nice and simple. I love the simple things in life, don't you? Even though it is decorated fairly simple, it is still stunning and the cherries just POP! I love the way that this turned out and I hope you will too!
ADDING A LITTLE "KICK"!
Pro Tip: When you are assembling your cake, use the left over juice from the cherries and place 1-2 tablespoon on top of the cake. It will help keep the cake moist longer, AND it adds that amazing flavor! (You can do this whether or not you use the alcohol.)
THE SECRET TO THE BEST CHOCOLATE CAKE!
The GOOP!!
Another tip I have developed over the years of baking is what I like to call "cake goop." I know professional and creative right? No matter what you call it, it is the most amazing stuff EVER! Every time I have used it my cakes come out of the pan perfectly everytime!
Easy peasy!

Hey!!! Your recipes always look simple with no confusions. That’s the reason I try them out.
But one small doubt. For the Blackforest cake, what can I substitute for vodka in preparing the cherry compote. Please help me. Thankyou
