What's A Good Filling For A Black Forest Cake???

First thing that comes to mind with me with Black Forest Cake is something with cherry in it 
If it doesn't have cherry filling, it's just a chocolate cake!
I've always found that the easiest is a can of cherry pie filling with a little rum or rum flavoring added. Stabilized whipped cream as somewhat of a dam and then fill with the cherry pie mixture.
An easy fix.....
First, I would ask if your client prefers tart (pie), or a sweeter variety.
Traditionally, the BFC is made with the tart cherries, but many people don't care for them.
Secondly, whipped cream is all that's normally used to fill (w/ cherries), and ice the dessert. The cake is soaked in Kirsch, so you have only the two flavors of chocolate and cherry present. Anything else might be considered too "busy".
Along that idea, perhaps you could flavor the WC filling with more chocolate?
Just a couple of thoughts...HTH,

I use slightly sweetened whipped cream, with cherries, between the layers of cake (Soak the cherries earlier in either Kirsch or cherry brandy).
I also soak the cake layers in sugar syrup flavoured in Kirsch.
Then cover the whole cake in whipped cream, and decorate with chocolate caraque and cherries!

If you mean three layers of cake, with filling, that's Ok, that's what's normally done with a black forest cake.
If you mean three stacked cakes , one over the other .... I wouldn't try it.

Ooh! All these ideas sound yummy. I think I would prefer jentheracinggirl's idea. Easy and tasty for your first time making this cake. Good luck!
