   How to make a classic cherry cake Black Forest? The first step is to prepare a chocolate sponge cake. Prepare everything you need for him.

   For baking, take a detachable mold 18-20 cm. Cover the bottom of the mold with parchment and clamp it with the sides. Pour the finished dough into the mold. Twist the form with the dough a little to one side. This is necessary so that the dough is distributed more evenly and does not rise up the hill when baking. Put the dough in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 45-60 minutes. Be guided by your oven.
