I try not to eat sweets too often. Don’t get me wrong- I do love desserts, but I don’t find it terribly difficult to say no to cookies, candy or chocolate bars, but there is definitely one treat I can never resist…
Brownies!
Something about the dense, rich, fudgy deliciousness of a brownie gets me every time. (And serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream? There’s no holding me back, lol!)
We had a family birthday party last week and I decided if I was going to indulge in something sweet, then it needed to be something good…
Like a brownie- masquerading as a cake, covered in delicious cherry pie filling and topped with sweet whipped cream.
We even had vanilla ice cream to go along with this Black Forest Brownie cake. It was amazing!
A black forest cake is usually made with chocolate or devil’s food cake, but once you’ve had it made with brownies, you’ll never go back to plain ol’ chocolate cake.
We’ve been doing quite a bit of baking lately and everyone (neighbors included) has been enjoying the baked goods. (Remember the Microwave Carrot Cake I made for Easter? That one is a must try!)
This recipe may look daunting, but it’s really easy.
It’s just Pillsbury™ Brownie mix, cherry pie filling and whipped cream layered together.
It really makes a great presentation! If you need a little extra inspiration for your next cake or brownie batch, be sure to check out the Pillsbury™ Pinterest Page for tons of creative ideas.
I put the kids to work mixing and pouring the brownie batter into the pan! (Funny how that’s the one job they never complain about.)
Wouldn’t you like to have a bite of that?
Now it’s your turn! What’s your favorite topping or add-in to a batch of brownies?
