Terribly dry cake. I had to cut off the bottom, sides and even some of the top to find some moistness(not kidding). I'm wondering if it should be baked in 3 layers instead of 2, thus cutting the cooking time and hopefully making it moister?

To save time, I used a box of devil's food cake instead of the cake recipe provided. The filling tasted great. Although, the cake doesn't travel well; slanted a bit in my cake carrier. Perhaps if I had let it chill longer before taking it to my family's house it would have held up better.

this is a great cake to make,especially if you want to impress someone!I bake a lot,but this was one of the prettiest cakes i made!everyone thought it was bought!And the good thing is that it's easy! All the family said it was even better than the store bought ones.I couldn't find canned sour cherries,so I used canned cherry filling(as is).It worked out perfectly,and I only needed one can of 19oz.thank you sooo much for that great recipe!

This was an excellent cake and went over so well that I had demands for several more. I made two for a large party and they were both gone in about 15 minutes. The only thing I would add would be a thin layer of chocolate syrup between the layers.

I've never made a Black Forest Cake before, so I was a little leary of making one from scratch. However, this recipe turned out fabulously. Everyone loved it - it was the hit of the party.

Delicious! But remember to do step 4 first if you are in a hurry (the cherries takes time to cool). I am not sure if the recipe meant two 20 ounce cherries (ie 40 ounces) or total of 20 ounces - could someone help clarify?

Overall, this wasn't a bad cake. The cake was quite dry and ended up sticking to the pans. But, overall assembly wasn't hard. The frosting was light and good. It held up very well overnight - I kept it in the fridge and then traveled with it the next day - it did great. However, the dryness really detracted from this recipe. Such good flavors really had nothing to hold on with the crumbly cake.

Excellent recipe! I have made this cake twice and it is wonderful! My only mistake is that the cherry topping should be as cold as the whipping cream, otherwise it runs down the sides and this is such a pretty cake. Thankyou!

Good one. I used the fourth layer too to give cake a taller look. I also used cocktail cherries only and no sugar syrup. Decorated with shaved chocolate on whipped cream looked gourmet.

This cake was absolutely delicious when all was said and done, but the process involved was a bit long. I would let people know to pop the cake back in the refrigerator before serving or traveling because the fresh whipped cream likes to slide.

Tasty! I've never seen cans of sour cherries (only available in the USA?) so I used a can of cherry pie filling. This cake won't dry out before it gets eaten. Thanks Linda.
