What Is Infinite Forest Cake?

How did I first get introduced to the Infinite Forest Cake?
I remember it like it was yesterday – the first time I had the pleasure of trying Infinite Forest Cake. While I was visiting my uncle’s house in Africa, I was at a grocery store, named Infinite Foods.
As soon as I stepped into the store, I was hit with an overwhelming feeling of joy and excitement; there were shelves full of all kinds of vegan-friendly products that I hadn’t seen before.
I decided to take a look around and while doing so, I noticed a cake sitting on the countertop. It was a dark brown color with a white frosting that had little specks of something in it – chocolate chips, maybe? I couldn’t help myself but try a bite and it was without exaggeration, the best cake I have ever eaten.
I found out it was called “Infinite Forest Cake” and that the store had got it from their supplier – Infinite Foods. They explained to me that they only stock products of high quality and that all of their products are plant-based. Not to mention, their prices are very reasonable!
I was so impressed with the cake that I decided to ask for the recipe and they were more than happy to provide it. Since then, I’ve made Infinite Forest Cake every time there’s a special occasion in my family – it is always a hit!
I always buy my supplies from Infinite Foods because I know the quality will be top-notch. I love how their products add a new level of flavor and texture to my desserts, making them even more special than before!
If you’re looking for something delicious and vegan-friendly, you can always count on Infinite Foods to provide the right ingredients.

How to make Infinite Forest Cake?
Making Infinite Forest Cake is easy and simple. Just follow the instructions below and you will be able to make this delicious dessert in no time!
Ingredients
- Eggs: Eggs are an essential ingredient for baking cakes. They provide structure, texture, and stability to the cake. They also help bind all the other ingredients together and contribute to the light and fluffy texture of a cake.
- Flour: A basic component of a cake is flour. It provides the structure of the cake as well as flavor depending on what kind of flour you use (e.g., all-purpose, bread, cake).
- Vanilla sugar: This gives the cake a lovely light sweetness and flavor as well as a light color.
- Sugar: Sugar adds sweetness to the cake and helps in achieving the slightly crispy edges of the cake when baked. It also helps with the browning of the crust during baking.
- Yeast: Yeast is used to give the cake a light, airy texture. It helps the cake rise and adds flavor to it.
- Dessert Chocolate: This adds sweetness and richness to the cake. It also provides a delicate chocolate flavor that pairs nicely with other flavors in the cake.
- Butter: Butter adds moisture, tenderness, and flavor to the cake. It also helps it achieve that nice golden-brown color when baked.
- Kirsch liquor or Caramelised Vodka: This gives the cake an extra kick of flavor. The alcohol in this ingredient evaporates during baking so you won’t get a boozy-tasting cake.
- Whipping cream: This adds richness and moisture to the cake while also helping to create a light and fluffy texture.
- Icing sugar: This adds sweetness and creates a beautiful glaze for the top of the cake.
- Thickener: This helps keep the cake moist and prevents it from drying out quickly.
- Salt: This is added to enhance all the other flavors in the cake and balance out any sweetness.
