Eggless Black Forest Cake Recipe – had made for my hubby’s birthday yesterday. I made it a day prior was very happy with the way my Eggless Black Forest Cake looked. Now I couldn’t get to taste them before the cake cutting ceremony. My hubby cut the cake we wished him. He loved the Eggless Black Forest Cake and even my mom in law and my friends relished them.
Actually, when I made this cake I had all the ingredients except eggs. Then what anyways I love eggless cakes. However, the challenge was to make the cake spongy and that texture. I tried them and the result was nice texture, spongy, fluffy, soft and delicious cake. I added some orange zest and some juice to give that tangy and juicy flavor.
Also, I utilized choco chips for the crunchy taste in the cake. I also used some almond flakes for the nutty flavor. The result was chocolaty, soft textured, super delicious and yummy cake that too eggless version. Eggless Black Forest Cake is easy to make. I also will help you right from scratch how you make? with step by step instructions and pics.
Anyone and everyone can make Eggless Black Forest Cake! It’s that simple and easy to make. All you require is patience and time to make them. Busy people can make the cake prior day and assemble next day. This way you can save time and be less patient with it.
To be honest I am very happy with this Eggless Black Forest Cake ! just loved the aroma, taste it was too tempting. I had myself so many slices of cake from there. The cake got over this morning (: Looking forward to making some more delish cakes. Sometimes feel to start my own bakery 😉
Let’s make Eggless Black forest Cake Recipe step by step:
2. Cream butter and brown sugar until light and fluffy.

4. Mix dry with ingredients gradually. Beat until all incorporates well. Lastly, add orange zest and juice. Beat for a minute more. Lastly, add chocochips and keep some reserved for the topping.
5. Now pour the batter into the greased pan. Scatter rest of choco chips on top. Bake at 190°C for 30 to 35 mins Or once skewer comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool down. Unmould the cake gently. Now let’s prepare the frosting.
Icing:

Hi Maria, wonderful blog. The cake looks yummilicious!!!!
what exactly is golden syrup and where would it be available?
maria says
Thanks Sarah 🙂 golden syrup is thick amber colored form of sugar syrup. It is used in a variety of baking recipes and desserts. It has an appearance similar to honey, and is often used as a substitute for people who do not eat honey. I had bought from Crawford Market Mumbai it’s available in most shops now. Hope this helps you 🙂

Well this is not just the standard Black Forest Cake here! Of course all of your cakes have your trademark of unique touches to them. I like the addition of the orange flavors as well as the flax and sunflower seeds in there. Definitely gives the cake some extra crunch as well as another complimentary fruit flavor in there. I am not sure I could have waited until the next day! Delicious creation Maria!
