Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte literally translates as Cherry Cake from the Black Forest region of Germany. I don’t think there are too many people who haven’t heard of this cake of German origin or don’t like it. I am one of those few who don’t! This mainly because I’m not very fond of cakes or confections filled or decorated with cream or frosting.
My husband and daughter, however, love the Black Forest Cake. It was my husband’s birthday about 2 weeks back and I had planned to surprise him with a home-made version. After making quite a few layered cakes for the Daring Bakers challenges, I thought I could handle this.

Oranges, oranges, oranges. Spices, spices, spices. When you can't make up your mind, you could make both, or you could combine them. I'm quite sure this has been done before (there are a few
orange spice cookie recipes floating around), but I managed to knock this together with help from
Sarah's post (inspired by Nigel Slater, who is apparently teh shiz) about the basic
cake. It has no milk, which I like, because I don't buy milk and am always cautious of substitutung with soymilk. I'm much more of a yoghurt fan, mostly because you get two doses of goodness (a shot of dairy and a small helping of good bacteria to help digestion and your immune system). While the original basic
cake has no cooking oil, I put some in and lessened the
butter content to make it a little easier on your arteries AND to keep the
cake soft the next day (I tend to find

This is a birthday cake I made for my brother last month. I waited till now since the main ingredient were the
mini puffs I made for last month’s
Daring Bakers challenge. I got inspired by a
cookbook cover, but I couldn’t find the original recipe so I assembled it with what I could come up with. The cake was a big hit

Meeta and
Tony for choosing this recipe and giving me the idea, my brother was so happy with the cake!
