Black Forest Inspired Fudge Cake




I promised a friend a cake a LONG time ago, and I finally came up with my end of the deal. There is A LOT of love put into this cake, I'm not normally one to make full size cakes as I've had some bad experiences, but this one turned out okay! There are two layers to the cake, made with my special sour cream chocolate fudge cake recipe. I then brushed the cakes with a sour cherry syrup reduction that I made. I then coated both layers of cake with a dark chocolate ganache and waited for them to dry. To assemble the cake, I topped a layer with lots of whipped cream and cherries. I dusted the layer with some dutch cocoa and put the other layer of cake on top. Cream was piped on the edge of the cake for decoration and topped with more cherries.

This cake took me AGES to make! I think I'll just stick to the cupcakes!! =)

P.s. I'm told it was absolutely delicious though!!
