Modified Black Forest Cake

dear folks, Hari ni menggatal buat cake - for my sister's birthday party. followed mamafami's recipe for black forest - since i don't know how to do the 'rosette' tu pakai letak je the cherries. and i still can't sprinkle choc rice on sides of cakes! cake is nice, easy to do apart from the need to whip egg whites and the cream (no fresh cream kat supermarket tu so used whipping cream). one thing i learnt about whipping the cream - be patient! took a while for it to turn from liquid to cream, but once it reaches that point, wow, terus jadi lovely whipped cream! nasib ada mixer! recipe below. And the 3rd picture is the road to my house - since Nina tunjuk gambar snow i tunjuklah green green green trees. Sunday morning walk (note - an actual effort to go walking!!!). then i noticed those lovely jantung pisang but the trees were too tall, kalau tak boleh ambik (it's on no man's land).

DELICIOUS CHOCOLATE CAKE (For black forest cake) - need to double recipe for 2 cakes.3 eggs separated 120 g flour 175 g sugar 60 ml oil 125 ml hot water 24 g cocoa powder 2 teaspoons baking powder a pinch of salt 5 ml vanilla essence Method : - Sift flour, baking powder and salt together - Mix cocoa and hot water and allow to cool - Combine egg yolks, oil, sugar, vanilla and cocoa mixture - Add this to dry ingredients and mix well. - Whip egg whites till stiff and fold lightly into mixture. - Bake in a pre-heated oven at 180 C for 40 to 45 minutes. (2 round 9” pans)

i was wondering why there were pokok pisang pictures there... ;o)

cake looks nice! good idea to use peaches instead. i've never liked black forest coz of the cherry filling. but now that you've given us the idea, boleh lah letak my favourite fruits instead... like pisang ke...

letak apa yang you nak rita...certainly pisang is do-able.
