EGGLESS BLACK FOREST CAKE
| ULTIMATE RECIPE
Eggless Black Forest Cake – I’ve made cotton soft black forest cake of egg version some time ago. There are quite a few request for the eggless version. The moist chocolate cake is super soft, just like the cotton sponge for egg version. I would say this is an easy but a phenomenal cake. This cake tasted like one of those in the bakery shop. You can make this cake for just about any occasions. Hope you’re inspired and give it a try. Enjoy!
