Blackforest Trifle Pudding ~ Waste not,want not!!

What would you do if something you so lovingly prepared[in this case,baked] becomes a disaster?I know the first thing I would do--curse under my breath,blame the tools[heehaw] and then pack it well and throw into the waste bin.But not anymore.

Don't get what I am saying? well let me explain.I had promised someone to bake a Chocolate cake and it was getting kind of delayed.So one Saturday night,as Ajay sat watching his weekend Football matches on telly,I donned my apron and took out my bowls and whisks and set about baking this cake.Everything went quite smoothly and I kept the cake inside the oven to bake.The cake smelled great and it had rose quite well too.But after the initial cooling session when I turned it on the rack..plop!!

Despite using a Silicone pan,some of the cake stuck to the pan,some fell down on the rack and some crumbled their way to glory.I was devastated to say the least.


After the initial confusion,I cut out the pieces neatly,put it in an airtight container and refrigerated it,which gave me time to think.First thing which came to my mind was trifle and I set about making it.Only thing I did was to whip up some cream and chop up some cherries and I was done.For the topping,I collected all the leftover crumbs and baked it for about 10 minutes in a 150C oven and powdered it..wham,I got the tastiest Chocolate crumbs for the topping--I am saving some as a topping for some delectable Chocolate excess ice-cream..yum!!

Blackforest Trifle Pudding

The recipe is kind of a dump in the ingredients,so I am giving an approximate measure.Increase or decrease as per your choice!

Chocolate Cake - cut into square pieces,or you could even use some leftover Brownies

Whipped cream - about 2 cup[Cream+Sugar+Vanilla]

Chopped cherries - as required,I used glace cherries

Chocolate crumbs - for topping

Method

In a pudding bowl,or if you are lucky to have a pan like her's layer the chocolate cake slices evenly.

Apply an even layer of whipped cream on top.

Layer with chopped cherries.

Repeat again with cake slices,cream and cherries.

Finish with the whipped cream topping and sprinkle chocolate crumbs on top.
