If you do and you want to use an entire layer of cherries make sure you have 2 cans) Layer 4- cool whip Start over til you reach the top of the bowl and decorate as you wish :).
4. Chill for 4+ hours.

Typically, Black Forest gateau consists of several layers of chocolate sponge cake sandwiched with whipped cream. Since he loves Black Forest Cake and until now has only had the grocery store bakery version this was a special treat. The chocolate cake part is pretty basic but the Kirschwasser lifts it up and the rich buttercream is a nice contrast to the outside coating of whipped cream. Although the origins of Black Forest cake are a bit fuzzy, many historians believe it originated in the Black Forest region of Germany, a large mountain range on the southwest side of the country.
