How did I make this cake?
In this recipe of Black Forest Cake, I have used two Eggless Chocolate Sponge cakes, each halved horizontally to get a total of 4 slices. All the cake slices are moistened with syrup from the tinned cherries. Between two layers of cakes, is a layer of fresh whipped cream frosting topped with a layer of crushed cherries. The cake top is frosted with more whipped cream frosting, some Maraschino cherries and grated chocolate.
How does this cake taste?
Black Forest Cake is new to none. This recipe of Black Forest cake, gives you a soft, spongy and airy chocolate cake layered with mildly sweet whipped cream frosting with sweetness and tartness of the cherries.
Notes:
You can use fresh cherries instead of canned. The quantity of sugar might vary depending on the sourness of the cherries.
If you do not have much liquid to reserve for sprinkling on the cake, you can prepare Simple syrup with 1:1 Sugar and Water.
If Maraschino Cherries are not available, then you can use candied Cherries.
