This cake was a disaster! The layers were dry and the frosting was too runny. I had to throw the whole thing away.

This Black Forest cake is a showstopper! The layers are moist and fluffy, the frosting is rich and creamy, and the cherries add a burst of flavor. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly.
