I have made no secret on this blog that I, as a class, prefer pie to cake.  With one notable exception.  Black Forest Cake.  The combination of cherries, chocolate and delicious cream changes the equation.  Happy National Black Forest Cake Day.  I’ll be back later.  I have to gain 12 pounds at one sitting.  Yum.
