This cake is on the dry side, but it wasn't too hard to make. Instead of putting all the cherries on top, I cut the cake in half and put 75% of the cherries and sauce inside the cake, and used the rest as garnish. Next time, I will definitely use more cherries to moisten up the cake. Also, I used lime and orange zest as garnish. The flavors blend well.

You will definitely be able to tell this cake is fat free. The texture is like a big, dry brownie. The funny thing is, it tastes good. The chocolate chips are a must. If you are watching your fat intake, this cake is perfect, otherwise, I suggest you make a regular cake.

This was an excellent moist cake, however, just a bit too sweet. Next time I'll cut back on the brown sugar.

This is a really good black forest cake recipe! I used fat free condensed milk, and found the Sunsweet oil substitute on the same shelf as corn starch and baking powder at the store. THe result's a moist cake that you wouldn't be able to tell it's low in fat!! Definitely a heaven for people who are dieting or want to eat healthy!!

I could appreciate trying to reduce the fat content of this cake, but I was unable to find the oil substitute or the fat free condensed milk! So, I used regular vegetable oil, and regular sweetened condensed milk, and though much higher in fat and calories, it was delicious! I surprised the family for Valentine's Day, and it really makes an impressive cake for show, as well as flavor!
