Mini Black Forest Cake

Oh Yum!!!! This is so light and yet not to sweet.........It was the perfect end of last nights meal...........A nice quiet candlelight dinner for two.
Using the recipe from Cake Mix Magic, for these mini Black Forest Cakes I was able to make one for last night and freeze the rest for another time or for unexpected guest...........I think this would also be fun to have for dessert when you are having a dinner party with other couples and let the other couples share there own.

It is simple, it is easy, it is delish.............!!!
