Pancho cake with cherries

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 3 hr 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare the dough. Separate the whites from the yolks. Beat them with half the proportion of sugar until stable peaks appear. Grind the yolks with the second part of the sugar until white. Afterwards, carefully combine both masses. Sift the flour and cocoa and add small portions to the egg mixture.

2. STEP 2

   

   We cover a springform pan with parchment (I have a diameter of 24 cm), lay out the dough, bake at 180 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

3. STEP 3

   

   Sprinkle cherries with sugar.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cook over low heat for 20-25 minutes, cool. Remove the cherries from the syrup and let them drain. Leave the syrup for soaking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cream: beat sour cream with half the sugar until fluffy. Whip the cream with the other half of the sugar. Combine both masses (cream into sour cream).

6. STEP 6

   

   Cut the cooled sponge cake into three layers.

7. STEP 7

   

   Soak the cherries in syrup.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place cling film in a deep bowl. Cut out two circles from the cakes, one along the diameter of the bottom of the bowl, the second along the diameter of its upper part. We cut everything else into cubes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Let's start assembling the cake. Place the crust on the bottom of the bowl.

10. STEP 10

    

    Grease the cake with cream, apply a layer of cherries on top, sprinkle with chopped walnuts.

11. STEP 11

    

    Set aside one third of the cream to coat the cake. Dip the biscuit cubes into the cream, mix, and place some on the cherries. After - a layer of cherries, a layer of nuts, a layer of biscuit. And we continue until the biscuit is finished.

12. STEP 12

    

    The last layer is a cake the diameter of the top of the bowl. We cover the cake with it and lightly press it with our hands.

13. STEP 13

    

    Place the cake in the refrigerator for two hours.

14. STEP 14

    

    Then coat with cream and decorate to taste.

15. STEP 15

    

    This is what the cake looks like in cross section. Bon appetit!

I made Pancho cake with cherries for Saturday tea party. Decorated it with chocolate drops. It turned out so delicious that we ate it in one go! The cream is the most delicate, the sponge cake is soft, fluffy and juicy. Now I will be making this cake for the holidays. Thanks for the recipe!
