well m fond of black forest cake since my childhood n every yr my b'day cake is none other than but black forest.
Preheat oven to 180 degree
Sift the flour ,cocoa , baking powder ,salt n cornflour.
Beat the eggs and sugar with beater till very thick ribbon falls [beat for approx 10 mins but i never saw those thick ribbons:(]add vanilla essence and beat again for 1 min.
Turn gently into tin and bake for 30-35 mins till a toothpick comes out clean(but my oven took only20 mins).leave d cake for completely cool down n cut in 2layers.
for frosting
Whip the cream with 4-5tbs powdered sugar until thick and holds peaks. divide into 2 bowl.mix chopped cherries in one bowl.Place the bottom layer n spread the cream with chopped cherries.
then put the other layer of sponge n spread the remaining cream(without cherries).decorate with chocolate shavings n cherries.
