Eggless Black Forest Cake for Two celebrations/
My 300th Post
and
My hubby's Birthday
Hi Friends,
This is a delayed post. I was supposed to post it on Sunday but somehow delayed and i am posting it today. Actually its a time for double celebration.Firstly, This is my 300th post in my baby blog whom i nurtured with all love and affection. The time i started it i thought i can't make it longer as i was having some family issues which kept me occupied and made me depress that i won't be able to hold it longer but my reader and friends gave me strength and always encouraged me to move ahead. Result, I am here with my 300th post.
THANK YOU SO MUCH ALL
for your Great Support
Now to second celebration, there was my hubby's birthday on Saturday and i made my first Black forest cake for him which came out so delicious. It was an outcome of lots of efforts. As usual when i came back home to make this cake there was all dark at home, no electricity, invertar not working, no match box, no candle. Depressed i was all set to order a cake from bakery. But i decided to wait for some more time, i waited impatiently as i wanted to bake a cake for him myself :(. After some time I started preparing basic things like collecting ingredients, sieving flour etc and when light came after one hours my cake was ready to bake. i was toooo happy and as the cake was baking i prepared things for decoration and my cake was ready after one hour, just on time. I was so happy with the outcome and guess who appreciated my cake my dearest hubby dear the Birthday boy. My kids loved this cake. I was so glad to see them enjoying cake.

Notes:-
- You can use coco powder instead of chocolate, i want to make a real chocolaty cake so used cooking chocolate.
- You can use warm water instead of milk to get right consistency of batter.
- Before decorating i put a foil sheet under cake which was big enough to cover the sides of the cake. I did it to save my time to cleaning the mess which we get after decorating cake with chocolate shavings and cream. I decorated my cake and then removed the foil carefully.
HOPE YOU WILL LIKE IT
Love
