Cherry Creme Black Forest Cake

Cherry Creme Black Forest Cake

By: Jamie - Rio Hondo, TX - Recipe Contest 2015

"I came up with this recipe after seeing the Cherry Creme coffee on the Door County Coffee website. I had a dear friend having a birthday who loves coffee and black forest cake. I used Cherry Creme coffee to make my recipe for mocha layer cake and layered it with Cherry pie filling and frosted it with whipped cream. It was such a hit that I was asked to make it for another party that same week. I hope you love it as much as my friends!"

This is a user-submitted recipe. It was not made in the kitchens of the Door County Coffee Cafe.
