Black Forest Cake - My #1 Favourite

Tapi yang herannya, mak kata ni kek zaman dulu, zaman mak muda-muda. Neway, saya suka sangat kek ni, dia tak manis sangat, pastu ada dark cherries dekat each layer, rasa masam-masam manis. Tapi saya tak berapa suka cherry yang kaler merah tu, walaupun memang dia yang mencantikkan kek ni  ... Nanti Kak Ngah nak kek ni untuk birthday Kak Ngah, ye mak ??? Sayang mak ..
