Recipe- Creamy And Delicious Eggless Black Forest Cake

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.

Ingredients

250 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.
