Easy Dressed-Up Black Forest Cake

Recipesfull introduces to you: Chocolate Cake Recipes. (Easy Dressed-Up Black Forest Cake). After traveling to Germany and loving their Black Forest Cake, I came home wanting to recreate it with what I had at the time. I was 17 and could only purchase, not yet create, so here is what I did. To this day my son requests it for his birthday every year. Pie filling should ooze out - this is the art of the cake!
