The classic for every beginner, without alcohol

First, buy a dark, ready-made sponge cake from the supermarket. This is ideally already cut into three pieces (this is usually found with bread and rolls). Then, whip the cream with vanilla sugar and, if desired, a little more sugar. Then add the cream stabilizer and continue stirring vigorously until the cream is stiff. Place the cherries in a saucepan. Mix the vanilla pudding powder in a glass of cherry juice and stir into the cherries. Bring everything to a boil until the mixture thickens and the cherries no longer retain their original shape. Set aside and let cool. Once cooled, layer the cherries on the first cake layer, encircled by a cake ring or springform pan, until the pan is empty. Place the second layer on top and spread the whipped cream 3-5 cm thick. Place the lid on the cake, generously cover the entire cake with the remaining cream, and smooth it evenly, ideally with a knife. Finally, decorate the cake with small dollops of cream and place a cherry on top of each dollop. Sprinkle generously with chocolate shavings in the center. Voilà! Your Black Forest cake is ready. It tastes delicious and is incredibly easy to make.
