    • ¼ cup white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
    • ½ tsp salt
    • 1 tbsp baking powder
    • 6 eggs
    • ½ cup unsalted butter
    • 3 tbsp coconut oil
    • ¾ cup milk
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract
    • Icing
    • 3 cups heavy cream
    • ¼ cup white sugar (organic for vegan-friendly)
    • 1 tsp vanilla extract

    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Preheat the oven to 350˚F.
    • Mix the dry ingredients of the cake together.
    • With a mixer, mix the eggs until the mixture whitens a little, about 2 to 3 minutes.
    • Melt the butter and coconut oil together. Let it cool a little and slowly add it to the eggs. Mix for 2 to 3 minutes until you have a shiny and glossy texture.
    • Add the dry ingredients slowly, along with the almond milk.
    • Mix until thick.
    • Spread the cake with a spatula in a hinged 12" mold with parchment paper at the bottom.
    • Bake for 45 minutes.
    • In the meantime, use a mixture to whip the icing ingredients together. Make a very firm whipped cream.
    • Heat the water for the syrup and add the cherries and vodka. Simmer for 10 minutes until cherries are soft. Let it cool.
    • To assemble the cake, the cake must be cold to handle. Cut it into small cubes.
    • Place cake cubes at the bottom of the glass.
    • Put about ¼ cup of whipped cream on the cake.
    • Pour syrup on top of the whipped cream.
    • Take more cake cubes and place on top of the cherry syrup.
    • Put the remaining whipped cream on top.
    • Grate dark chocolate over the top and garnish with cherries.

      Sunday was my birthday, and because I was traveling all day, it went by so fast. This year I didn t feel very festive As my friend Brittany said, I am now a quarter of a century old! I don t really like the sound of that ahhh! Since I didn t get to make myself a birthday cake this year, I made this Black Forest cake (Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte in German), in a glass, because this is one of my favorite cakes and I didn t want to make an entire cake for myself since nobody is around this week to help me eat it! Last year I made Nutella Whoopie Pies, so I wanted to continue the tradition. This is a great dessert recipe for one, or two. I always use Morello cherries from Trader Joes, they are so delicious! The kirschwasser is usually a must when preparing a Black Forest cake, but if you don t have it you can leave it out and it will still taste delicious!
