How to make it

1. For a Black Forest cake, you will need three sponge layers. You can either bake them separately (using one-third of the listed ingredients for each layer) or bake one large sponge and slice it horizontally into three layers. If time allows, bake the sponge layers a day in advance and let them cool completely to room temperature before assembling the cake.
