Lets start making delicious Chocolate cake and that too egg less

• first grease a round baking pan of 7.5 inches diameter x 2 inches height with oil. preheat your oven to 200 degree /392 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Sieve 1 cup whole wheat flour, 3-4 tbsp cocoa powder, a pinch of salt, ½ tsp baking soda in a plate. use good quality cocoa powder,here I have used Cadbury cocoa powder.
• In another pan or bowl, take ¾ cup sugar,add 1 cup cold water and stir so that the sugar dissolves.
• now add ¼ cup oil or melted butter, stir briskly so that everything is mixed well.
• Add 1 tbsp lime juice ,give a nice stir again.
• Add ½ tsp vanilla extract or powder and the dry ingredients to the wet mixture,mix everything with a whisk with no lumps left behind.
• The batter consistency should not be thick but thin.
• Pour the cake batter in the prepared cake pan.
• Bake the cake in a preheated oven for 200 degrees /392 Fahrenheit for 35 to 40 mins.Temperatures vary from oven to oven, so keep checking in between. If you want to bake in a convection mode of microwave oven, preheat the oven at 180 degrees Celsius/356 Fahrenheit for 15 minutes. then bake the cake at 180 degrees Celsius/356 degrees Fahrenheit for the  30 to 35 minutes.
• To check  whether your cake is baked then insert a tooth pick inside the cake if the tooth pick come out clean its a signal that your cake is baked and if the tooth pick is sticky, then place the cake bake in the oven and continue to bake for some more minutes. Unmold the cake once it cool down on a wired rack.Before frosting let the cake cool completely.

Icing method:

• keep the top of the cake facing towards you , slice the cake from the center with a large knife or serrated knife,you can also use a dental floss to slice the cake into two.  
• Remove the top half and keep aside. keep the the bottom cake half facing towards you. just cover them and keep aside while you prepare the icing cream.
• In a stand mixer add cream and icing sugar.If using electric beater then take the cream and icing sugar in a bowl.If you have the heavy whipping cream, then nothing will beat your cake. Remember to chill the cream in the refrigerator for at least a day or two before using it.
• At the maximum speed, run the wire whip blade and whip till the cream become stiff. I whipped for about 8 minutes in the highest speed of the stand mixer. if you are using heavy whipping cream, you won't have to whip for so long. don’t overdo the beating as the cream might turn into butter, when you get stiff peaks, just stop the mixer or beater. to check, just invert the bowl and if the cream does not fall, the cream has got stiff peaks.
• Sprinkle some sugar syrup on the cake evenly. to make sugar syrup, dissolve 1 tsp sugar with 3 to 4 tsp water. You can also use rum or wine instead of sugar syrup.
• Now with a spatula spread about ¼ or ⅓ of the whipped cream.
• Spread evenly as this is a moist cake, the crumbs will be seen while spreading the cream.
• Then add a layer of chopped red cherries.
• Sprinkle grated chocolate on top.
• Cover with the top halve of the cake.
• Spread some cream on the top evenly. spread on the sides.
• Add the remaining whipped cream in a piping bag and use any decorative nozzle. decorate the cake with the cream from the piping bag.
• Don't worry about design flaws as we will be adding more grated chocolate on the cakes.
• Place whole cherries on the cake.
• Sprinkle some grated chocolate all over the cake, you can also add chocolate shavings or chocolate vermicelli.
• Also place the grated chocolate on the side of the cake. 
• Cover the cake with a large bowl without it touching the sides and place in the fridge for the cream icing to set. keep to set for 3 to 4 hours or overnight.
• When the cream icing has set well, slice and serve the Eggless Black Forest .

Now its so easy to make a Eggless Chocolate Cake at your home.Just be patient while making because nothing is perfect.
