This isn't the traditional Black Forest Cake. To start with cream cheese isn't used to make this cake and you add Kirsch to the cake or cherries, which are usually pitted Bing cherries. I grew up in Germany and have had this cake since I was 3 years old. rmp

I made this 2 days ago and it came out PERFECT, but using my MasterCook program, the nutritional analysis was much different thatn yours.

something is wrong with this recipe. If you use 9 oz of cake mix/that's HALF a typical box which is 18 oz....and the calorie count based on 9 oz is nowhere near 349 cal.

This cake was absolutely beautiful in appearance and delicious, except for one thing. I could barely cut thru the crust it was so hard and dry. Wondering if I did something wrong, or is there a missing ingredient, like any oil? Otherwise, it's so simple to make and very pretty.
