B L A C K F O R E S T C A K E (From Jenny Weber)
===================================
1 favorite Chocolate cake recipie or boxed mix.
1 21oz can of cherry pie filling
1 extra egg.
Increase number of eggs used by one. (ie: if is says 2 then use 3)
replace *ALL* other liquid with the pie filling.
Other than these modification, follow recipe.
Batter will be thick (kinda like brownies).
Frost sides, between layers, and top. Cream-Cheese frosting
recommended, but others will work. Decorate with a rim on top
to hold about .5 to 1 cup additional cherries in the middle.
or other frosting. Put cherries in the center. You can put
cherries for a center filling, but you must first seal top and
bottom layers with frosting or it'll get soggy.
*(Note: the original posting said to reserve .5 cup of cherry mix,
but the cake *DOES* need *ALL* 21 oz. of the pie filling!)
(Sorry if anyone had a flop from the original posting.)
Jenny also says you can do this with a white or yellow cake, but
she prefers the chololate.

But it is **NOT** repeat NOT a "Black Forest Cherry Cake". If you invited me to your dining table with a promise of a black forest cherry cake and then served me this, I might or might not remain on good terms with you, but I would never again believe a word you said about food. A Black Forest Cherry Cake (= Schwartzwalder Kirschtorte) is a German classic; three layers of rich but light chocolate cake moistened with kirsch syrup, filled and frosted with rich whipped cream, with cherries between the layers, and thickly garnished with chocolate curls. The best recipe I know is two pages of fine print in the recipe booklet of the Time-Life Germany cookbook - one of these dull winter afternoons when I've nothing else to do I'll try to type it in and post it. Your recipe is certainly much easier to make and it no doubt produces a good cake, but please call it Mom's chocolate cherry cake or Betty Crockers cherry cake or any name you please that does not already have a very specific meaning. (Sorry to sound like an old grouch but I've been burned in restaurants that offered one thing on the menu & served something very different, and I hate to see the practice spread to people who should know better) --Carolyn J.
