Cherry cake in chocolate

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to bake a Cherry cake in chocolate? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Turn on the oven to 180 degrees in advance.

2. STEP 2

   

   Immediately prepare a mold for baking the biscuit base of the cake; you can line the mold with foil and grease it with vegetable oil. The foil is very easy to separate from the finished biscuit.

3. STEP 3

   

   Beat the eggs into a bowl, add sugar and vanilla. The bowl must be clean and dry, otherwise the eggs may not beat.

4. STEP 4

   

   Beat the eggs and sugar with a mixer at high speed for 3-4 minutes. During this time, the egg mass will triple. Well-beaten eggs are the key to a fluffy sponge cake.

5. STEP 5

   

   Then reduce the mixer speed to minimum and pour coco powder into the egg mixture.

6. STEP 6

   

   After the cocoa, add the sifted flour and baking powder into the mixture. Be sure to sift the flour. This will saturate it with oxygen, and the biscuit will rise well during baking.

7. STEP 7

   

   Knead the biscuit dough until smooth. Half a minute will be enough.

8. STEP 8

   

   Pour the biscuit dough into the prepared pan.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place the form with the dough in a cold oven and turn it on, setting the temperature to 180 degrees. For the first half hour, do not open the oven to avoid the sponge cake settling due to temperature changes. Bake the biscuit for 40-50 minutes. You can check the readiness of the biscuit using a toothpick: insert it into the center of the biscuit and immediately remove it. If it is dry, then the biscuit is ready, if not, bake for another 5-10 minutes.

10. STEP 10

    

    Leave the pan with the baked biscuit for about half an hour in the switched off oven with the door open so that it cools gradually. Then transfer the pan to a wire rack and let the cake cool completely.

11. STEP 11

    

    Remove the cooled biscuit from the mold.

12. STEP 12

    

    Cut the sponge cake into two layers with a long, sharp knife; the top layer should be slightly thinner.

13. STEP 13

    

    Carefully remove the cut top of the sponge cake.

14. STEP 14

    

    Drizzle the cherry syrup evenly over the cut side of the top cake.

15. STEP 15

    

    Place the bottom cake on a plate and carefully cut the crumb along the inner circumference with the tip of a knife.

16. STEP 16

    

    Using a spoon, scoop out the crumb from the bottom crust.

17. STEP 17

    

    The cake base should be in the form of a shallow container, as in the photo.

18. STEP 18

    

    Place the crumb in a bowl.

19. STEP 19

    

    Fill the base of the cake with a layer of canned cherries.

20. STEP 20

    

    You can start preparing the cream. Combine sour cream with powdered sugar and vanilla, mix everything with a spoon.

21. STEP 21

    

    Then add a thickener to the sour cream mixture and beat the cream with a mixer for 2-3 minutes.

22. STEP 22

    

    Combine the finished sour cream with the crumb, leaving a little cream for the top of the cake. Mix the crumb with sour cream.

23. STEP 23

    

    Place the cream and crumb mixture on top of the canned cherries.

24. STEP 24

    

    Use a spoon to smooth the cream mixture well.

25. STEP 25

    

    Cover the cream mixture with a layer of cake soaked in syrup.

26. STEP 26

    

    Grease the top of the cake with the remaining cream.

27. STEP 27

    

    Place the cherries on the cream-coated surface of the cake.

28. STEP 28

    

    Grate the chocolate.

29. STEP 29

    

    Sprinkle the grated chocolate generously over the top of the cake.

30. STEP 30

    

    Chocolate Cherry Cake is ready. If desired, you can decorate it with fresh mint leaves. Bon appetit!
