Ingredients
For the Cake Layers
- 1 1/2 cup All-Purpose Flour sifted
- 3/4 cup Sugar granulated
- 1/2 cup Cocoa Powder unsweetened
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- 1/2 tsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 tbsp Vinegar white
- 1/3 cup Vegetable Oil
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
For the Filling and Frosting
- 2 cup Heavy Whipping Cream cold
- 1/4 cup Sugar powdered
- 1 cup Cherries frozen, thawed and drained
- 1/2 cup Sugar Syrup simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water, heated until dissolved)
- 1/2 cup Chocolate dark, finely grated
Instructions
Prepare the Buttermilk
- Mix 1 cup of milk and 1 tablespoon of white vinegar. Let it sit for 5 minutes until slightly curdled.
Make the Cake Batter
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the sifted all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared cake pans.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Assemble the Cake
- Once the cakes are completely cool, use a serrated knife to carefully slice each cake horizontally into two layers, creating four layers in total.
- Lightly brush each layer with sugar syrup.
Layer and Frost
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
- Spread a layer of whipped cream onto the bottom cake layer. Top with a portion of the thawed cherries and grated dark chocolate.
- Repeat with the remaining cake layers, whipped cream, cherries, and chocolate.
- Frost the entire cake with the remaining whipped cream, creating a smooth finish with a butter knife.
- Garnish with additional frozen cherries.
Chill and Serve
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes to allow the layers to set.
- Serve chilled.
Recipe Notes
Expert Tips for the Perfect Eggless Black Forest Cake:
