Welcome to our kitchen! Today, we’re diving into a delightful recipe that’s perfect for any occasion, especially during the festive season. This Easy Black Forest Dessert is not only quick to make but also eggless, making it a treat everyone can enjoy. So, let’s get started and whip up this delicious cherry cake!

Ingredients You’ll Need

Here’s what you’ll need to make this scrumptious Black Forest Dessert:

Frozen Cherries: 500g (2 cups)
Brandy (optional): 60ml (¼ cup)
Plain Flour: 300g (2 cups)
Cocoa Powder: 45g (½ cup)
Baking Powder: 2 ½ teaspoons
Baking Soda: ½ teaspoon
Salt: ¼ teaspoon
Brown Sugar: 200g (1 cup)
Plain Yogurt: 100g (about ½ cup)
Vegetable Oil: 100ml (⅓ cup, 2 tablespoons)
Milk: 320ml (1 ⅓ cups)
Vinegar: 1 teaspoon
Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

For the Toffee Sauce:

Butter: 100g (7 tablespoons)
Brown Sugar: 100g (½ cup)
Heavy Cream: 200ml (¾ cup, 2 teaspoons)

Make sure to preheat your oven to 170°C (338°F) and prepare a 20×20 cm (8×8 inch) baking pan.

Let’s Get Mixing!

Start by mixing the frozen cherries with brandy and setting them aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar. Mix well!

Next, add in the plain yogurt, vegetable oil, milk, vinegar, and vanilla extract. Mix everything until well combined.

Now, it’s time to fold in the cherries gently into the batter. Once that’s done, pour the mixture into your prepared baking pan.

Baking Time!

Place the pan in your preheated oven and bake for about 50-60 minutes. Keep an eye on it; you want it to look fudgy and moist.

Making the Toffee Sauce

While the cake is baking, let’s prepare the toffee sauce. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butter and brown sugar. Microwave for 1 minute and mix well.

Next, add the heavy cream to the mixture and stir until it’s well combined. Your toffee sauce is now ready!

Final Touches

Once your cake is baked, let it cool for a bit. Poke holes all over the top of the cake using a skewer or toothpick. Pour the warm toffee sauce over the cake, allowing it to soak in. Let the cake sit for about an hour to absorb all that delicious moisture.

Enjoy Your Black Forest Dessert!

And there you have it! A moist and rich Black Forest Dessert that’s perfect for sharing. It’s so delicious, you won’t want to stop at just one slice!
