I love Black Forest Cake and I will never forget as a young mother making it for our family and inviting another family over to share the evening. It was beautiful when I put the assembled cake in the refrigerator, but I must have been a little generous with the filling because when I went to serve it the very tall layer cake had several "slid layers"! We all had a great laugh over it. It was delicious, but I have since learned to put a bamboo skewer down the middle of the cake when it is chilling. When ready to serve pull out the skewer and "touch up" the hole.
