Black Forest Cake Recipe

A few weeks ago we shared Black Forest Cupcakes which are delicious! Today we are expanding into Mini Black Forest Cake Recipe for those days a mini cake makes life just a little bit better.

These mini Black Forest Cakes remind me of our last trip to Germany! We spent a few days exploring the Black Forest region of Germany and savoring as many pieces of authentic Black Forest Cake as we possibly could. John also found his dream cuckoo clock which he had to have. I am still trying to find just the right place for it in the new house. I need to find a place that the kittens can't get to it otherwise that could be a rough day in the house.

All this talk of Germany has me thinking about planning a return trip to Germany or at least to Leavenworth here in Washington to enjoy a day of great German food.
