Black Forest Ice-cream Cake
by Tarla Dalal

Fifteen minutes is all it takes to prepare irresistible Black Forest Ice-Cream Cake provided you have all the ingredients readily on hand. In this arrangement, vanilla ice-cream, grated chocolate and juicy cherries are sandwiched between sugar-soaked chocolate sponge, topped with whipped cream and decorated temptingly with tantalizing dark chocolate curls and deep red cherries. The icing on the cake is, however, the satisfaction of having made such a lavish dessert in your own kitchen and that too within minutes!
