The rich white frosting, with chocolate shavings and cherries on top….the color contrast itself is amazing. So here we go, our Eggless Black Forest Cake recipe! You are gonna love it!
Ingredients and Alternatives :
All purpose four: Make sure you sift the flour before using. Last thing you need is lumps in your pasta dough.
Unsweetened coca powder: I have always have good results with using unsweetened cocoa powder instead of sweetened.
Olive oil: I usually use olive oil for all baking. You can use any other oil that does not have a strong flavor or smell.
Vanilla Extract: Always use natural extract or better yet, if you can get actual vanilla beans and make the extract, then all the more better. Vanilla beans however can be quite expensive so maybe this is not a viable option always. Artificial extracts always have a discernable taste and I am not a big fan of it.
Milk: We used regular milk. You can obviously use any alternatives as well, like almond milk.
Cherry: Maraschino cherries were used for decoration on top and sliced one for adding in between the cake layers. Maraschino cherries are preserved sweetened cherries that usually in a jar.
We used frozen cherries for making the cherry syrup. You can use thawed for this as well. Try not using maraschino cherries for making the syrup since this comes very sweet already.
Chocolate: For shavings, you can use milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate. These are supposed to be the two best options for making shavings.
Other ingredients: Granulated white sugar, baking soda, salt, white vinegar, heavy cream, olive oil, water. powdered sugar
