Black Forest Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 chocolate cake mix
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1 1/4 cups water
• 1 cup canned cherry pie filling
• 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
• 1/2 cup Kirsch or other cherry-flavored liqueur
• Whipped cream
• Chocolate shavings

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. Combine the cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water in a large mixing bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on low speed until just blended, then beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
3. Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
4. Cool the cakes in their pans on wire racks for 10 minutes, then remove them from their pans and continue cooling on the wire racks.
5. With a long, serrated knife, slice each cake in half horizontally. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread 1/3 of canned cherry pie filling over it. Repeat with the remaining cake layers.
6. Spoon the liqueur over the cherry pie filling, then cover the cake with whipped cream.
7. Sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings for garnish.
8. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight, and serve.
