Black Forest Cake with a twist

On my husband's birthday, I baked an oil free black forest cake with a little twist.  Most of the time we have to use lot of whipping cream to make bfc but my cake had icing of white chocolate and fresh cherries . In other words this cake has less calories. 
Here is my recipe:

Ingredients:
Eggs  3, White sugar 1/2 cup, White flour 3/4 cup, Baking powder 3/4 tsp, Vanilla essence a few drops.
Method:
Beat eggs and sugar by placing this pan in another pan of hot water.  When the mixture turns very creamy, add white flour with a wooden spatula.  Pour two tblsp of flour at one time and mix well to avoid making the lumps.  Add baking and vanilla essence. Pour the cake mix in a greased pan.  Bake in 325degree F for 35 to 40 minutes or till the wooden stick comes out clean. 

Let cake cool off for two hours or so. Cut cake into two parts width wise.
Icing:
White baking Chocolate grated three cups, Milk half or 3/4 cup, Fresh or frozen pitted cherries, one grated small chocolate bar for decoration.
Melt white chocolate in a double boiler on a medium heat, add milk. While it is still hot, pour some mixture in the half cut cake.  Fix the other half evenly and now pour rest of the white chocolate on the top of the cake.  Let it dribble on the sides.  Put this in the fridge for ten minutes.  White chocolate will solidfy very soon.  Now decorate with grated chocolate bar and cherries in any way you like.
Your less calories cake is ready for eating.  So enjoy without any guilt.
