Eggless Black Forest Cake, Black Forest Cake Recipe
by Tarla Dalal
Do you generally end up ordering Black Forest Cake from the baker’s because you think it takes too long to make? Next time, just bring home (or make by yourself) a chocolate sponge, and you can prepare the Black Forest Cake right in your kitchen and that too within minutes.
The sugar-soaked cake gets a creamy twist and tangy notes from the layer of whipped cream and cherries, while it derives a none-can-refuse-me look from the garnish of chocolate curls and juicy cherries. Go for dark chocolate curls, for additional eye appeal.
Serve this delicious cake on occassions like Christmas , Children's Day , Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving to make them all the more special.
