       Title: Black Forest Cake # 3
  Categories: Cakes, Chocolate
       Yield: 12 servings
  
       1 pk Devil’s food cake mix
     1/4 c  Sugar
     1/2 c  Water
       2 tb Cherry flavored liqueur
   2 1/2 c  Whipped cream
     1/4 c  Sifted confectioners sugar
     1/4 c  Cherry flavored liqueur
      16 oz Maraschino cherries; drained
     3/4 c  Semisweet chocolate mini
            -chips
  
   Prepare cake according to package instructions, spooning
   batter into 3 greased and floured 8″ cake pans. Bake at 350
   for 20-25 min. or until wooden pick inserted in middle
   comes out clean.  Cool in pans on wire racks for ten
   minutes.  Remove from pans; cool completely on wire racks.
   Combine sugar and water in small saucepan.  Bring to a
   boil, reduce heat, and simmer 5 min.  Stir in 2 T. cherry
   liqueur and cool. Brush syrup on top of cake layers; let
   stand for 5 min. Beat whipping cream at medium speed until
   foamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, beating until soft
   peaks form.  Slowly add 1/4 c. cherry liqueur...gradually,
   while beating.
   Spread on 1st cake layer, sprinkling with 1/3 of chopped
   cherries and 1/4 c. chocolate morsels. Add second cake
   layer; repeat.  Top with third cake layer and spread top
   and sides with remaining whipped cream mixture. Sprinkle
   with remaining cherries and chocolate morsels. I had a
   little whipped cream left over, so I piped a few rosettes
   on top, placing a whole maraschino cherry in each.  Store
   in fridge.
