Black Forest Cake!!

I usually plan to bake on my nights off from work so I was looking for new recipes to try. My mom took notice and suggests : "how about a chocolate cake...with chocolate filling..and cherries?" lol so i go "black forest? alright I guess so". I made a 6inch Black Forest cake for her and like 4 cupcakes out of the leftover batter. I made a chocolate cake, cherry simple syrup to moisten (with the extra cherry juice and black cherry schnapps..SO GOOD), cherry filling using canned tart cherries, chocolate pudding (cheated and used a box of devils food instant with a cup of milk and a little shot of "whipped" vodka), whipped cream and maraschinos to top it off ..she loved it!

I filled the cupcakes with the cherries and topped it off with the pudding, whip and maraschino.
