Easter Black Forest Cake

Easter Black Forest Cake is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any Easter celebration. This cake is a twist on the classic Black Forest Cake, with added Easter-themed decorations and flavors.
To make this Easter Black Forest Cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water

For the filling:

- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the decoration:

- Chocolate Easter eggs
- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
To start, preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add in the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined. Slowly pour in the boiling water and mix until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the two prepared cake pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean.
While the cakes are baking, prepare the filling by whipping the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form. Once the cakes have cooled, place one cake layer on a serving plate and spread the cherry pie filling on top. Add a layer of whipped cream on top of the cherry filling, then place the second cake layer on top. Cover the entire cake with whipped cream and decorate with chocolate Easter eggs, whipped cream, and chocolate shavings.
This Easter Black Forest Cake is a perfect combination of rich chocolate cake, sweet cherry filling, and fluffy whipped cream. The addition of Easter-themed decorations makes it a festive and fun dessert for any Easter celebration.
