Eggless White forest cake is a rich and tasty cake. A small 2 tier 6 inch cake is perfect for any special occasion.

I am among the few who love white chocolate. My son is just like me. With white chocolate, I usually make Mousse or cookies or fudge

A few months back my friend baked Black forest cake for my husband’s birthday and ever since I was super tempted to try eggless White forest cake.

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

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

What can I use instead of sour cream?

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

Notes

Chocolate can also be melted in-store top
If you are microwaving the chocolate make sure it not microwaved for a long time else the mixture might spill
You can melt the white chocolate and make patterns of your preference and add it around or top of the cake
Instead of using cherry syrup, you can make homemade sugar syrup. Boil 1/2 cup of water and sugar until the sugar is dissolved completely. Cool and use
Based on the amount of frosting you use the frosting quantity may vary adjust accordingly
Instead of using pudding mix, a White chocolate mousse recipe can be followed to prepare frosting
I have used a peeler to grate the white chocolate
