NEW STYLE BLACK FOREST CAKE

Black Forest Cake is a German layered cake.Usually this cake is decorated with Fresh cream, chocolate shavings and fresh cherries.For all special occasions and Birthday parties Cake has become mandatory.Here for a different look I have modified the Black forest design.So let us see how I have prepared this cake.....

                                                 INGREDIENTS

To make cake balls

• Maida                                       - 1 cup
• Cocoa powder                          - 3 tbsp
• Baking Powder                        - 1/2 tsp
• Baking Soda                            - 1/4 tsp
• Butter                                       -1/3 cup
• Sugar powder                           -1/4 cup
• Condensed milk                       -1/2 tin
• Vanilla Essence                        - 1 tsp
• Milk                                         - 3 tbsp
• Warm water                             - 1/4 cup

For Black Forest Cake

• Black Forest Cake powder      - 250 gms
• Egg                                          - 125 gms
• Water                                       - 65 gms
• Refined Oil                              - 20 ml

For Icing

• Whipping cream                  - 400 to 500 ml
• Powdered sugar                   - 1/4 cup

For dipping cake balls

• Chocolate cream type syrup  -  1/2 cup

                                                         METHOD

• Soften the butter and powdered sugar to a fine foam.

• Add 1/2 tin condensed milk to it.

• Sieve the maida, cocoa powder, baking powder and soda powder together 2 times.

• Add this to the beating mixture.

• Add milk to it.

• Add warm water little by little.The mixture should be in a folding form.

• Grease a tray.

• Layer butter paper on it and bake in a oven for 30 mins or till it is done.It is recommendable to prepare this cake one day before the use .

• Next day, crush the cake and powder it.

• Make small balls out of it.Keep this aside.

• To prepare the cake, first beat egg,water and oil together.Then add the Black Forest cake ready to mix powder(this is available in market).Bake this on a greased tray for 30 mins.Now keep this on a wire rack to allow it to cool.
• Whip the whipping cream and sugar powder to a fine smooth paste.After continuous whipping it will become like a snow foam..
• Do remember that icing should be done only after cake gets cooled.

• After cooling divide the cake into 2 or 3 layers. I divided the cake into 2 layers only.First take a plate or a card board ,take a spoon of whipping cream and place it  in the center of the plate or card board.Then place the top layer of the cake and apply beaten whipping cream frequently.

• Next place the bottom part upside down .We keep it upside down for a cleaner look.

• Now apply all the cream all over the cake level it and smoothen the sides.

                            

• Dip all the Cake balls in Chocolate liquid cream .

• Now arrange it on the bottom layer.

• Then arrange them on the top corners.

• Fill the center portion with grated white chocolate, then silver balls and sugar candy.I have used violet color candy you may use these  as per your taste.

                 Here is the yummy special Black Forest cake!!!                                                            Enjoy!!!!!
