This is one of my favorite cakes ever: the Black Forest cake (Forêt-Noire). The recipe is originally from Germany but almost every bakery in Morocco has the Black Forest cake in its display window. Layers of chocolate cake, whipped cream, cherries, and the whole thing covered with chocolate shavings... absolutely amazing!
This step-by-step video will show you how to make it to impress your friends and family!

The cake looks really dry and tough. Are you sure it works?

@QZaman91

correct, the cake is dry - as the original recipe calls for - and it's balanced with the smoothness of the whipped cream. this cake as well as Sacher torte cake (from Vienna - in a different recipe) are supposed to be dry originally dry, but you can find all different versions where sponge cake is used instead for more smoothness. I personally like to the original version, but you can use any type of cake you prefer.

Look for 'heavy cream' and whip it. You should have heavy cream in any store.

Your heavy cream will whip up faster if you wait and add the vanilla and powder sugar at the end.
