    Eggless Black forest cake is a rich and tasty cake. Two small 6-inch cake is perfect for any special occasion.

    CAN I USE WHEAT FLOUR INSTEAD OF ALL-PURPOSE/FLOUR?

    For a light and soft cake, all-purpose flour is preferred. Using wheat flour might result in a dense cake. If you prefer to use wheat flour choose fine ground flour and add an extra 2 or 3  tbsp of milk.

    HOW CAN I ADOPT THE RECIPE FOR OTHER CAKE PANS?

    I have used two 6-inch cake pans. You can use the same proportion and split it into two 7-inch pans or bake the entire batch in one big pan. The baking time might vary accordingly

    Is trimming the edges and the top layer mandatory for Eggless forest cake?

    Trimming the cake is totally optional. I felt my top layer was not flat and I prefer trimming the outer layer as my son loves to snack on it separately. you can skip trimming

    What can I use instead of hung curd?

    An equal amount of sour cream can be used instead of thick homemade curd. vanilla flavored or plain yogurt can also be used instead of sour cream.

    Can I use fresh cherries for black  forest cake?

    Yes if fresh cherries are in season use them. In that case, we need to prepare the sugar syrup. Boil an equal portion of water and sugar. No need to look for any sugar string. Just cook till the sugar is completely melted and cool and use. I have used maraschino cherries. Used the cherries for the cake and liquid in 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. If you prefer less cherry flavor adjust according to your taste.

    Can I use butter for black forest cake?

    Since we are going to refrigerate the cake it is better to use oil. Butter might make the cake dry.

    CAN I BAKE IN THE PAN?

    Yes place a stand and preheat both pans for 10 minutes on medium flame. Place the cake pans on top, cover them with a lid and cook for 15-20 minutes on low flame.  If you are baking in one pan then cook for 30-40 mins

    SHOULD I REFRIGERATE THE CAKE?

    Yes always refrigerate the chocolate cherry cake. Especially after adding the frosting.
