2/3

7 to 8 tbsp grated chocolate or chocolate shavings, you can also add as required

2 to 3 tsp of cherry syrup or 1 tsp sugar dissolved in 3 to 4 tsp water . you can use rum or

wine instead of sugar syrup

8 to 10 whole cherries for decoration or as required

some chocolate shavings for decoration (optional)

how to make the recipe:

for the eggless chocolate cake:

1. first grease a round baking pan of 7.5 inches diameter x 2 inches height with oil. preheat

your

2. oven to 200 degrees celsius/392 degrees fahrenheit.

3. seive 1 cup whole wheat flour, 3 tbsp cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, tsp baking soda in

a plate. use good quality cocoa powder.

4. in another pan or bowl, take cup sugar.

5. add 1 cup cold water and stir so that the sugar dissolves.

6. now add cup oil or melted butter. i added oil. stir briskly so that everything is mixed

well.

7. next add 1 tbsp lime juice. stir again.

8. now add tsp vanilla extract or powder.

9. add the sieved dry ingredients to the wet mixture. using a wired whisk, mix everything

well.

10. there should be no lumps in the cake batter. the batter is not thick but thin.

11. pour the cake batter in the prepared cake pan.

12. tap the sides of the cake pan so that the extra air bubbles are let out.

13. bake the cake in a preheated oven for 200 degrees celsius/392 fahrenhiet for 35 to 40mins. since temperatures vary from oven to oven, do keep a check. for baking in a convection

mode of microwave oven, preheat the oven at 180 degrees celsius/356 fahrenheit degrees for

15 minutes. then bake the cake at 180 degrees celsius/356 degrees fahrenheit for the 30 to 35

minutes.

14. for doneness check the cake with a tooth pick. the tooth pick should come out clean.

once the cake becomes warm or cools down, unmold and place it on a wired rack. if the tooth

pick is sticky, then place the cake bake in the oven and continue to bake for some more

minutes. before frosting let the cake cool completely.icing method:

1. keep the top of the cake facing you. slice the cake neatly and from the center with a largeknife or serrated knife. you can also use a dental floss to slice the cake into two. with knife

things can go uneven, so slice carefully. if crumbs fall, collect them and then add them on top of

the cream layer.

2. remove the top half and keep aside. keep the the bottom cake half facing you. just cover

them and keep aside while you prepare the cream icing.

3. in a stand mixer take cream and icing sugar. you can use an electric beater and take the

cream and icing sugar in a bowl. i have used amul cream as that the only cream i get here. also

it works very well for me. but one has to use icing sugar otherwise amul cream does not

whipped well due to its low fat content. if you can get heavy whipping cream, then nothing like it.

remember to chill the cream in the refrigerator at least for a day or two before you use it.

4. at the highest speed, run the wire whip blade and whip till the cream become stiff. i

whipped amul cream for about 8 minutes in the highest speed of the stand mixer. if you use

heavy whipping cream, you won't have to whip for so long. dont overdo the beating as the

cream might turn into butter, when you get stiff peaks, just stop the mixer or beater. to check,

just invert the bowl and if the cream does not fall, the cream has got stiff peaks.

5. sprinkle some sugar syrup on the cake evenly. to make sugar syrup, dissolve 1 tsp sugar

with 3 to 4 tsp water. you can also use rum or wine instead of sugar syrup.

6. now with a spatula spread about or of the whipped cream.

7. spread evenly. since this is a moist cake, the crumbs will be seen while spreading the

cream. there is a method that can be used to to avoid the crumbs. but since we are making at

home, this much is alright.

8. then add a layer of chopped red cherries. red cherries are easily available. these are in

the indian variety of candied karonda berries. they are also called as karonda murabba in hindi.

i get them easily at mithai shops here.

9. sprinkle grated chocolate on top.

10. cover with the top halve of the cake.

11. spread some cream on the top evenly. spread on the sides. if you have a cake decorating

stand, then its best to use. for home purpose, i use a small flat plate covered with aluminum foil

and place the cake on it before icing.

12. add the remaining whipped cream in a piping bag and use any decorative nozzle.

decorate the cake with the cream from the piping bag.

13. don't worry about design flaws as we will be adding more grated chocolate on the cakes.

so imperfections can be hidden :-)

14. place whole cherries on the cake.

15. you can add the amount of cherries you want to make a neat looking cake.16. sprinkle some grated chocolate all over. you can also add chocolate shavings or

chocolate vermicelli.

17. also place the grated chocolate on the side of the cake. i also added some chocolate

shavings from top.

18. cover the cake with a large bowl without it touching the sides and place in the fridge for

the cream icing to set. keep to set for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.

19. when the cream icing has set well, slice and serve the eggless black forest cake.
