German Black Forest Cake

    I followed the recipe exactly except I had to use butter in place of shortening because I didn't have any. I would at least 1.5 times the recipe for the butter cream filling (not nearly enough for 3 layers) and the cake (with so little batter the layers were soo thin after cutting horizontally) next time. Thanks for the recipe

    German Black Forest Cake,From what I hear this is a pretty authentic German recipe. You can replace the alcohol with cherry juice if it’s not your thing.,I followed the recipe exactly except I had to use butter in place of shortening because I didn’t have any. I would at least 1.5 times the recipe for the butter cream filling (not nearly enough for 3 layers) and the cake (with so little batter the layers were soo thin after cutting horizontally) next time. Thanks for the recipe,Delicious! My husband requested this for his birthday, and gave it rave reviews! The only change I’ll make next time is to use less sugar in the filing. It was a little too sweet for me even with having used canned tart cherries.
