Prick the cake layers with a fork and brush the syrup over all 3 layers. To make buttercream filling, beat the sugar and butter together until well blended. Add the egg yolk; beat until light and fluffy, about 3 to 5 minutes. Fold in the cherry liquor. Place one cake layer on a cake platter. Spread with buttercream filling. Drop 3/4 cup cherries evenly over the filling. Place a second cake layer on top of that. Spread with filling, then add 3/4 cup of cherries. Place the third cake layer on top. Fold 2 tablespoons confectioner sugar into the whipped cream. Cover the sides and top of the cake with the whipped cream. Decorate the top of the cake with the remaining cherries. Press the shaved chocolate on the sides of the cake; sprinkle a few on the top. Chill until serving time. Serves 10. Return to Best Chocolate Cake Recipes and leave Black Forest Cake Recipe
