Irresistible Black Forest Delight Recipe

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch cake pans.
In a large bowl, combine the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and sugar. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and melted dark chocolate.
Slowly add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans and bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Make the Whipped Cream:

In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and sugar until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold in 2 tbsp of cherry liqueur (optional for added flavor) for a subtle boozy kick.
Assemble the Delight:

Once the cakes have cooled, slice each cake in half horizontally to create four layers.
Place the first layer on a serving platter. Brush with a little cherry liqueur.
Spread a layer of whipped cream on top, then scatter a handful of cherries.
Repeat with the next layers until all are assembled.
Top with a generous dollop of whipped cream and decorate with fresh or canned cherries.
Drizzle melted dark chocolate over the top and garnish with additional cherries.
