: Classic Black Forest Cake with Cherry Filling & Whipped Cream

🍦 3. Prepare the Whipped Cream

1. In a cold mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla on high speed.
2. Continue whipping until stiff, smooth peaks form. Do not overbeat.

🎂 4. Assemble the Black Forest Cake

1. Place one chocolate cake layer on a cake stand or serving plate.
2. Spread a thick layer of whipped cream over the top.
3. Spoon cherry filling over the cream, avoiding the edges to prevent overflow.
4. Add the second cake layer and repeat the whipped cream and cherry filling.
5. Top with the final cake layer. Spread whipped cream over the top and around the sides.
6. Press chocolate shavings onto the sides of the cake.
7. Use a piping bag to swirl whipped cream on top and decorate with whole cherries.

🍒 Serving

Let the assembled cake chill for at least 1 hour before slicing. This allows the whipped cream to set and the layers to meld. Each slice offers soft chocolate cake, sweet cherries, and pillowy cream—the ultimate harmony of flavor and texture.

If you say « perfect » with every bite of this three-layer, elegant, classic Black Forest Cake, don’t be surprised. ✨
