Black Forrest Cake with Ganache Frosting
I made a fluffy Chocolate Ganache Frosting for this!
If you haven’t tasted Chocolate Ganache frosting, you’re missing out on an amazing taste!
I’ve never had a Black Forest Cake before, I had no idea what I was missing! Cherries and chocolate ganache are so delicious! This was actually pretty easy to make and the frosting goes on so easy.
