Black Forest Cake: The Cherry on Top of Any Dessert Table
Ingredients for Black Forest Cake:
- 2 cups flour
- 1 cup cocoa powder
- 1 ½ tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 ½ cups sugar

How to Make Black Forest Cake:
- Prepare the cake: Mix your dry ingredients in a bowl. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then add in the eggs and vanilla.
- Bake the cake: Gradually add the dry ingredients, alternating with the milk. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes at 175°C. When done, let it cool before cutting.
- Assemble the cake: Slice the cakes into layers. Soak each layer with some cherry syrup (don’t drown it, just a light drizzle). Layer whipped cream and cherries between the layers.
