Delicious Black Forest Bundt Cake
What cake do you like better?
See results without votingToday was my mother's birthday, and to celebrate, I made her a birthday cake. When I asked her what kind of cake she wanted, she said she wanted something not overly sweet but still a good dessert. She loves chocolate, so I came up with a delicious, moist black forest chocolate bundt cake filled with sweet cherries with a hint of vanilla and almond.
Tips
- Have the butter at or close to room temperature. This makes it easier to cream the butter and sugar together.
- Using baker's sugar instead of regular white sugar for baking. Baker's sugar is much finer and creams together with butter quicker and easier.
- Sprinkle baker's sugar on the sides of the pan after greasing. This helps the cake come out of the pan easily.
- Make sure to keep the filling away from the sides of the cake. This keeps the filling from oozing out once the cake has been turned out of the pan.
Recipe
- 1 C butter, room temperature
- 1 1/2 C baker's sugar
- 1 C sour cream
- 2 eggs
- 2 tsp almond extract
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 C all-purpose flour
- 3/4 C unsweetened cocoa
- 2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 C milk
- 1/2 C cherry pie filling (about 2.5 oz)
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Spray a bundt pan with cooking spray and sprinkle baker's sugar on the inside of the pan.
Cream the butter and sugar together. Mix in the eggs, sour cream, almond extract, vanilla extract and milk.
Then, mix in the flour, cocoa, baking soda and salt.
Pour half of the batter into the pan. Spread the batter up the sides of the pan and spoon in the cherry filling. Be careful to not have the filling touch the sides of the pan.
Pour the remaining batter on top.
Bake for 60 to 70 minutes or until a toothpick stuck in the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool for 20 minutes then remove. Let cool and decorate with frosting or confectioner's sugar.
Enjoy!

Delicious looking recipe. If you had posted "all of them" in your poll, that is the one I would have voted for. I don't discriminate when it comes to cake - and cookies.:)
Thank you both for the comments! I know what you mean drbj, I don't discriminate either! :-)
This sounds like a great recipe! I am not a fan of cake, but my family likes it, so I am always looking for a recipe to try on them...I do like baking cakes! Thanks for the recipe!
Hi Specialk3749,
Thank you for the wonderful comment! This cake is delicious, and I'm sure your family will love it!
I should definitely try your black forest bundt cake coz I know my son would love it. He doesn't say no when it comes to moist chocolate cakes. Besides, your recipe not only sounds delicious but it looks gorgeous when snowed with confectioner's sugar, too.
Thanks for the great share! Rated and voted it up! :-)
Hi Loren's Gem,
Thank you for the lovely comment! I'm sure your son would love this cake! It's very moist and delicious with the cherry filling. Thank you for voting this recipe up!
Oh wow...oh no! This looks fabulous. And what a beautiful presentation it will make!
Do you have any guru tips on how best to freeze baked goods for later use. Have you ever frozen this cake and if so, how long?
Hi RTalloni,
I freeze a lot of my desserts. Usually, I divide them up into single-size servings, then I place each serving in to a ziplock baggie before freezing. The last time I made this cake, I ended up freezing it for about a month before I thawed it out. It was still very tasty and moist.
Great--thanks!
You're welcome!
