I had some chocolate cake and wanted to make it interesting and made this Black forest trifle.It is a versatile dish,you can mix and match the ingredients and make your own trifle.Lets see how to make this easy and yummy dessert.

Ingredients:

 Chocolate cake cut into squares or rounds  -  10 slices (For 5 individual   servings)

 Heavy whipping cream- 200 ml

 Chocolate sauce or Chocolate Ganache -  as needed (You can use any store bought chocolate syrup like hershey's chocolate syrup)

 Glazed cherries cut into small pieces - as needed

 Cashewnut cut into small bits- as needed (optional)

Method:

• Take 1/4 cup of water and add 1 tblsp sugar and boil till sugar dissolves.Allow to cool.
• Whip the heavy cream and once soft peak forms add 2 - 3 tblsp Icing sugar and few drops of vanilla essence and whip further till stiff peaks form.keep aside.
• Take a serving glass/bowl and place a slice of chocolate cake.Sprinkle little sugar syrup over the cake.Top the cake with whipped cream and add some chocolate sauce followed by finely chopped cherries and nuts.
• Repeat with another layer of cake and finish with whipped cream layer.If you prefer you can add chocolate shavings on the topmost layer.Since I din't had chocolate,I just added some Chocolate sauce and made marble effect.I decorated it with fresh cherries(This is optional).
• Refrigerate for atleast 1 or 2 hours before serving.
