Rich creamy yummy Eggless Black Forest Cake. Everybody loves the Black forest cake. This is the only cake which we order for birthday parties if we are not making a cake at home. I have made this cake after a long time as we generally make a regular eggless cake without icing.
Ingredients250 grams maida/plain flour
4 heaped tsp cocoa
1 tsp baking powder
100 grams of butter
1 can (400 grams) milkmaid/mithai mate
200 ml coke/Pepsi
For sugar syrup :A ¾ cup of water
A ½ cup of sugar
(you can also use cherry syrup from the can instead of making sugar syrup)
For Icing:1 cup cream fresh cream
2 tbsp powdered sugar
a few drops vanilla essence
1 small tin cherries
25-40 grams chocolate bar
Method- Lightly grease a baking pan. Preheat the oven to 180 C for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt the butter in a pan. Cool and add milkmaid.
- Sieve flour, baking powder, and cocoa.
- Mix some of the flour and milkmaid butter mixture with coke. Keep on adding the flour mixture and coke gradually and beat well.
- Immediately pour into prepared pan and bake for 40-45 minutes at 180 C.
- While the cake is baking you can make the sugar syrup by boiling water and sugar for 5 minutes. Cool it down.
- Check by inserting a knife whether the cake is uniformly baked or not especially at the center of the cake. If it is not done then bake it for another 5 minutes.
- Leave the cake in the oven for some time.
- Take it out of the oven and invert the pan over a rack.
- Tap the pan to remove the cake. Let the cake cool for some time.
For Icing
- Slit it horizontally into two parts.
- Whip the cream till light and fluffy. Add powdered sugar and vanilla essence to it and fold gently.
- Spread half of the sugar syrup on the cut piece of cake.
- Spread whipped cream on it and destoned cherries. Put the other half piece over it and press slightly.
- Repeat the same process with sugar syrup, whipped cream, and cherries. Cover all the sides of the cake with remaining whipped cream.
- Sprinkle grated chocolate on it.
- Chill the cake before serving.
