These delicious chocolate crepes are filled with cherries and topped with whipped cream and chocolate shavings. They taste just like Black Forest cake.

Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 tablespoons cocoa powder. 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. 1/4 teaspoon salt. 2 large eggs. 1 1/4 cups milk. 2 tablespoons melted butter. 1/2 cup chocolate chips. 1 cup pitted and halved cherries. 1/2 cup whipped cream. 1/4 cup chocolate shavings.

Instructions: Whisk the cocoa powder, sugar, salt, and flour together in a bowl. First, beat the eggs in a different bowl. Then, add the milk and broken up butter. Combine well. Mix the dry and wet ingredients together until you get a smooth batter. Put a nonstick skillet on medium heat and use butter or oil to lightly coat it. Put a small amount of the batter into the pan and swirl it around to cover the bottom evenly. The crepe should be cooked for one to two minutes or until it sets. Turn the crepe over and cook for one to two more minutes. Do it again with the rest of the batter. On one half of each crepe, put some chocolate chips and cherry halves. Then, fold the other half over to make a half-moon shape. Put whipped cream, more cherry halves, and chocolate shavings on top of the crepes before serving. Have fun with your tasty Black Forest crepes!
