Black Forest Cake. A chocolate sponge cake soaked with simple syrup, filled and frosted with light sweetened whipped cream along with some juicy cherries and rich, dark chocolate shavings. Need I say more? This cake would win anyone with just one glance at it, but this recipe is the best one I have ever tried. The sponge cake has the perfect amount of bitterness that is balanced out by the simple syrup. And it is moist and juicy in every bite along with the freshness that the cherries lend to it. You NEED to make this cake right away. Happy Baking! :)
