Black Jungle Cake Anyone?

Okie Dokie, well my boyfriend is from Guatemala. And he's favorite cake is Black Jungle Cake, he said you can't even find it here in the US. Well I want to look for a recipe of this "famous cake" of his, and treat him with it. So has anyone heard of this cake, and where can I get this recipe?

Chocolate & Cherries. I think we know it as Black Forest Cake.

Ramona, his Mom probably called Black Forest Cake by that name.
I'd ask him more about it first, like if it had chocolate and cherries in it.
Better yet, if you know his Mom, you could ask her and make some big time brownie points.
