Trimming the cake is totally optional. I felt my top layer was not flat and I prefer trimming the outer layer as a son loves to snack it separately. I think the cake is evenly baked then skip trimming

Why YouTube video Cake measurement is half compared to the blog Eggless White Forest Cake?
I have one 6 inch cake pan so I prepared the cake batter twice. If you have two cake pan use the quantity of this below-mentioned ingredient and make a cake batter, split into two pans and bake. If you have one 6 inch pan like me make two better separately or bake in batches.
Can I use fresh cherries for White forest cake?
Yes if fresh cherries are in season use it. In that case, we need to prepare the sugar syrup. Boil equal portion of water and sugar. No need to look for any sugar string. Just cook till the sugar is completely melted cool and use. I have used maraschino cherries. Used the cherries for the cake and liquid in the place of sugar syrup.
How much sugar syrup do we need for the cake?
I have used around 1/2 cup of maraschino cherries liquid. The cake tends to become dry so add a lot of liquid to the moist cake.
Can I use butter for White forest cake?
Since we are going to refrigerate the cake multiple times it is better to use oil. Butter might make the cake dry.
Can I skip instant pudding powder in frosting?
Frosting can be done with whipping cream and sugar but white chocolate pudding mix gives nice flavor and texture to the cake
