Yes, it’s been 3 years since LiG came into existence. Time really has flown by in last 2 years. Lot of things have changed, grown into bigger and better, some have been discarded with time. And here we are, 3 years and going strong.

I started LiG as a surprise 5th anniversary gift for V. So with blogversary we celebrate our anniversary too.

I wanted to actually do an Eggless BlackForest Cake, but couldn’t even find canned cherries in nearby area, so changed plans last-minute to accommodate and created a Coffee Layered cake. And I must say I did not overly miss the blackforest. :)

I used the chocolate base which has been a hit in my family from Eggless Chocolate Truffle Cake. Soaked it in simple coffee syrup & frosted with whipped cream mixed with some coffee. Topped it with some chocolate curls.

In other news, life is going on chug-chug.

It was perfectly perfect for the occasion, though a little heavy on coffee for kids. Thankfully my kids, ate only few spoonfuls and didn’t give me wide awake night. ;)

I absolutely loved it. V as usual enjoyed every bite of it. Every bite was full of decadence, flavour and rich.
