The original plan was to make mini cakes. Mini Black Forest cakes, that is. I looked for recipes on the Web and there are a lot. Some range from doable to 'oh dear maybe next time' complicated. Some use store-bought cherry pie filling while some cook up their own. Some use liquors while others leave it out. Some use only this kind of cherries while some use that kind of cherries...and so on!
It seems everyone has their own way of making Black Forest cake and whatever works for them, great! Right?
