Guest guest Posted April 20, 2003 Report Share Posted April 20, 2003 Black Forest Cake Reduced Fat Ingredients: 1 cup water 1 cup honey 1/2 cup applesauce 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp vinegar 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or unbleached white flour 3/4 cup cocoa powder 1 Tbsp baking powder 1 tsp baking soda Directions: Preheat oven to 350°. Combine liquid ingredients in a large bowl & whisk well. Sift dry ingredients together & whisk into liquid mixture. Pour into greased & floured 9" cake tin & bake for 35 minutes or until springy. Cool cake completely & remove from pan. With a serrated knife, cut cake horizontally to make 3 thin layers. Carefully remove the top two layers of cake. Brush some syrup (see additional links for recipe) onto bottom layer & spread half of chocolate icing (see additional links for recipe) over it. Place the middle cake layer on top & brush with syrup & icing. Put down a layer of cherries & dot with a little vanilla icing to help the top layer stick. Place the top layer on the cherries & brush again with syrup. Frost top & sides with vanilla icing. Decorate with cherries & pipe rosettes if desired. Chill several hours before serving. The cake can be kept covered if not being served till the following day. However, the frosting may discolor after about 3 days.
