Vegan Black Forest Cake with Raspberries

This vegan Black Forest Cake with Raspberries version is made with spelt flour, refined sugar-free and therefore much more nutritious than the original version.Well, first of all, I need to confess that I exchange the traditional cherries with some late summer raspberries. I don’t like cherries in cakes don’t ask me why.

As many of you might don’t know; black forest cake is my favorite cake! I like the layers of thick cream combined with a deep chocolate cake, lightened up with fresh tangy raspberries.

The cake actually looks more difficult but it is super easy to make! You make one basic cake and slice it into 3 round pieces. Then you whip up the cream, layer the cake and tada finished!
