Guest Samayal: Black Forest Cake

yummy home made black forest :)


Ingredients:

Maida-1 cup
Coco powder-4 spoon
Egg-2
Powdered sugar-3 cups
Chocolate essence-1spoon
Milk -1/2 cup
Chocolate-1 full bar
Fresh cream -2 cups
Water- 1 cup
Cherries-12
Butter - 1 spoon

Method:

Mix maida and coco powder evenly and keep it aside. In another bowl beat eggs and add 2 cups of powdered sugar to it little by little and mix continuously. The softness of the cake depends on how evenly we mix it. In another bowl add milk, little pieces of chocolate bar and chocolate essence and mix it well. Now grease the baking container with butter. Now add all these mixed contents one by one and keep on mixing it well till u get a very smooth paste as it is shown in step1. Preheat oven at 180 degree Centigrade. Now bake the cake for 30 min. To check whether it is done, poke a knife into it and take out, it should not be sticky. Now take the baked cake out and cut it horizontally into two portions. Add 1/2 cup of sugar in water and mix it well till the sugar dissolves. Pour this water on top of both portions of the cake, this will soften the cake and give the sweetness. Blend the remaining sugar with the cream and keep it in refrigerator for 15 mins so that it becomes thick. Cut 6 cherries into small pieces. Apply the cream well on the one portion of the cake and add half of the cut cherries to it and grate some chocolate chips on it. Now put the second portion of the cake on top of it and apply cream and add the remaining chocolate and cherries to decorate it. Keep it in refrigerator and serve it cold. Enjoy the cake.
