Vegan black forest cake - [純素黑森林蛋糕】

Hey everybody, this week was nearly Christmas. I made something called Black Forest Cake in the vegan version. And let's begin. We start from dry ingredients first. In the bowl, sift 90g of medium protein flour, 1.5g of baking soda and 2g of baking powder with 2g of potato protein, 1.5g of salt, 12g of cocoa powder, 70g of caster sugar, melt 20g of vegan margarine plus 30g of neutral oil. Then add 85g of water. Then pour liquid ingredients into dry ingredients. Give a good mix. And after that, we add 7g of white vinegar. After that, we transfer it into a silicone mat or a baking paper. For this, I spread the batter into a baking paper using a spatula. Spread the batter evenly as we can. Then bake it into a preheated oven at 180C degree with a fan for 8 to 10 minutes. Then let it cool down. I transfer it into the fridge to speed up the process. And cut it into a desired shape for later use. Next, we are gonna make a chocolate decoration. For this, I boil a jug of water and pour it into a deep saucepan. And put a bowl and fill it with coffee to chocolate using a thermometer as our guide. We are gonna melt the chocolate at 45C and prepare another bowl with ice water to quickly bring down the chocolate temperature. And bake again. We are gonna bring once again the temperature into 31C, which is a tempering step for dark chocolate. Then spread the chocolate into acetate or guitar sheet. You can just spread it into a marble and let it set. Using a scraper, you can scrape the chocolate and get like a chocolate flakes that can be used for the decoration later. I made a circle chocolate decoration like I show in the video. Next is I'm gonna make a cherry gel. Take 30g of caster sugar and 5g of agar. Mix them well together. And in the saucepan, add 350g of cherry puree. I'm using a canned morello cherry and the juice inside from the can and puree them together. Bring the liquid into 40C and slowly pour the agar mixture with sugar inside the puree. And continue stirring and let it boil for 1 or 2 minutes. Then turn off the heat. Pass through with a sieve and let it cool down. When the puree set becoming a hard gel, put it into a jug and blend it into a smooth gel using hand stick blender. Next we're gonna make a vanilla whip. Take 200g of coconut cream and splash of vanilla paste. With 30g of icing sugar and mix it using a whisk till all combined and start whip it till form a medium hard peak. Keep it in the fridge for later use. Now we're gonna decorate our cake. I cut it into a rectangle shape and brush some sugar syrup into the cake. Then add a vanilla cream. Spread evenly. Add a cherry gel on top. Follow again by cake and repeat the process till all the cake finish. Then I sift some chocolate button into like a fine chocolate powder and decorate it over the body of the cake. Or you can decorate your own version. Then pipe the leftover vanilla cream on top of the cake. Follow by a few dots of cherry gel. A freeze dried cherry and a fresh cherry. And then decorate it with some chocolate decoration that we made earlier. Then here we have my black forest cake in vegan version. I hope this cake will sweeten your holiday season and have a happy Christmas. Have a good break and enjoy the moment with your family. And I'll see you guys next time. Thank you.
