Black Forest Trifle

If you love Black Forest Cake then this trifle is for you! This dessert has all the components of a black forest cake - the chocolate cake, cherries, whipped cream, chocolate shavings and it is also soaked with kirsch liqueur or the cherry syrup. This is a delightful dessert which can be served as individual servings after dinner or in parties.

Method

1. Bake the brownies/cake or use any left over chocolate cake. Crumble the cake and set aside. Chop the cherries, leaving a few for garnish.
2. Whip the cream until stiff peaks. 

3. Place a small handful of crumbled cake pieces at the bottom of the serving dish.
4. Drizzle the cherry syrup over the cake crumbs.
5. Place a large dollop of whipped cream. You can pipe it in or spoon it in.
6. Place a spoonful of cherries over this layer.

7. Repeat the process starting with the crumbled cake.
8. Cover and refrigerate for the flavors to mingle.
9. Just before serving, garnish with chocolate shavings and cherries.
