The cakes have first been spotted in Southern California in Albertsons stores, and in a supermarket in New Jersey. Since then, many bakeshops followed the trend with their own iterations of toilet paper cakes. Are they hoping to sell them quickly just like the toilet paper sells these days?

All we know is that, in times like this, every creative idea can help keep a business going, and that’s the case with these shops and toilet paper cakes. Now that many small businesses are suffering the consequences of pandemic and social isolation, it’s important to stand out and remind your customers that you’re still working and that you have just the thing they need right now.

• 1 dark chocolate cake mix
• 3/4 cup buttermilk
• 3 whole eggs and 1 egg white
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour for high altitude
• 1/2 cup semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

For the cherry filling:

• 1/2 cup water

Set the oven to 325 F degrees and prepare 3 6” cake rounds.

Mix the buttermilk, vanilla, sour cream, eggs, and oil together. Add the cake mix, chocolate chips, cocoa, and flour. Mix again very well.

Divide it into six, and add the batter to the cake rounds. Bake them for 25 to 30 minutes, then let them cool down for 2 minutes.

Next, wrap the cake rounds with plastic wrap and leave them in the freezer for at least 3 hours.

While you’re waiting you can prepare the cherry filling. Add the ingredients in a pan, without the vanilla. Wait for the mix to start boiling and let it simmer for 10 minutes. When it becomes thick you can add the vanilla. Place it in the fridge to cool down.

For the whipped cream, mix the gelatin with water in a bowl and leave them for 5 minutes. Next, place the bowl in the microwave for 10 seconds.

Leave the metal mixer and mixer bowl in the freezer until they are cold. Start whipping the whipped cream for 1 minute on low speed. Turn up the speed until you get stiff white peaks.

Include the gelatin, cream cheese, and vanilla, then whip again. Finally, pour in the powdered sugar and whip again.

For the chocolate drip, mix the heavy cream and chocolate in a bowl. Put the bowl in the microwave for 30 seconds.

To assemble the cake, first place one cake layer, and cover it with a layer of whipped cream frosting. Pipe one layer on the outside. Add 1/4 cup of the cherry filling next. Now repeat the whole procedure all over again.

Leave the black forest cake in the freezer for 20 minutes. Add the chocolate drip and freeze it for 2 more minutes. Top it off with fresh cherries.
