Black Forest Dessert

• I thought of this dessert after making a new chocolate cake, which did not turn out very well – it was too dry.
• I decided to make a dessert with this and bottled sour cherries.
• Warn people if the cherries still have stones in them.
• Use cherry brandy or wiśniȯwka.
• It is styled around Black Forest tort.
• The amouts you use – you have to guesss – depending on how much cake you have to use.
• My test dessert was on the large size!
