Eggless Black Forest Cake: Layers of eggless chocolate cake sandwiched with whipped cream and liqueur infused cherries.

Eggless Black Forest Cake

Growing up black forest cake, and pineapple pastries or Pineapple cake and black forest pastries were the most popular cake/pastry options for birthday parties. We all have grown up on black forest cake for our birthdays or a relative’s birthday.

I have previously shared a Swiss Black Forest Cake recipe on the blog. These days a lot of my cake recipes are met with request for eggless versions. So I took it upon myself to try an eggless version of the black forest cake.

The recipe that I am sharing today while vegetarian is not entirely vegan- although with a few substitutions you can make this eggless black forest cake vegan too.

What is Black Forest Cake?

Black Forest gâteau  or Black Forest cake is based on the German dessert Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte.

The recipe I am sharing is my version for an Eggless Black Forest Cake. 

The following are the components for this cake:

  1. Chocolate layer cake
  2. Brandied burgundy cherries
  3. Whipped cream
  4. Chocolate decoration

Vegan Chocolate Cake

275 meters swimming, 16km bike riding over our hilly town and a 5K run.

Finally, completed my first triathlon! 🙂

Now, the embarrassing part- I was one of the lasts to finish.(*sheepish look*)

While my swimming and run timings were pretty decent, everyone dusted me off in the cycling round. Before you make fun do understand, for me, the cycling part was the toughest. I only started cycling a month and half back, after more than a decade of not getting on a cycle. And it was a real task for me to do uphill cycling, which was almost 50% of the entire route. One of the roads we biked on is actually called Mountain road (not even Hill road- its called mountain!). So it wasn’t easy for me. And that’s why it took me a lot of time. And the wind didn’t help either when climbing uphill on the cycle.

Anyway, the idea this time for my first triathlon was to complete it. Next time I’ll probably think of actually competing!
