Vegan Black Forest Gateau

Vegan Black Forest Gateau. Here is a classic dessert, in vegan form! This gateau originated in Bavaria in the south of Germany - it was named Schwarzwalde Kirsch Torte - Black Forest cherry torte. This vegan Black Forest cake is made with a soft Chocolate sponge layered with vegan cream combined with kirsch cherry liqueur - it's boozy - and preserved black cherries. This dessert is vegan, so it's dairy free and also egg free, though your guests won't know it's a vegan dessert - they may need some reassuring of its vegan-ness.

The gateau will give 12 good portions, the perfect blast from the 1970s for your dinner party guests. It need to be refrigerated, where it will keep for several days. It also freezes successfully so you can simply bring it out to defrost on the morning.

This dessert is palm-oil free, and also dairy-free and egg-free, like all Kind Cake Co. cakes. It contains soya and nut (ground almonds). It can be made gluten-free on request, simply select when you order. It contains alcohol - kirsch liqueur.
