Chocolate Cherry cake

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   To make a chocolate sponge cake, take chilled eggs. Add sugar to them and whisk everything together with a mixer until an airy, fluffy mass. To beat the eggs well, the whipping bowl and the whisk should be dry and fat-free. Otherwise, the whipped mass will not have the necessary pomp.

2. Step 2:

   

   While the eggs are being beaten, combine the butter and milk. Bring the mixture to a boil so that the butter melts.

3. Step 3:

   

   In the beaten eggs, gently whisk in the hot milk mixture and flour. Add everything in turn, in 3-4 approaches. Add cocoa and soda. Try to mix carefully so as not to bring down the existing splendor too much.

4. Step 4:

   

   Grease the biscuit baking dish with butter or cover with baking paper. Pour the finished dough into this mold. Put it to bake in the oven, preheated to 180 degrees, for 50-60 minutes. The shape will fit in a diameter of 20-22 cm.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cool the finished biscuit and cut it into 2-3 cakes.

6. Step 6:

   

   Defrost the cherries for the filling. Drain the excess liquid. The resulting juice can be soaked in cake cakes.

8. Step 7:

   

   To prepare the cream, take heavy cream with a fat content of at least 33%. Start whipping them at medium speed. Gradually add powdered sugar. Continue to beat the cream until a stable, fluffy mass is obtained. Just be careful - just miss a little and the cream will turn over and discard the water. The main thing is to stop the mixer in time.

9. Step 8:

   

   Soak each chocolate cake cake with cherry juice. Brush with buttercream and lay out the cherry berries. So layer all the cakes with cream and berries.

10. Step 9:

    

    Assemble the cake. The top and sides are also lubricated with cream. Try to make the surface more even. Put the cake in the refrigerator for a few hours so that it freezes well and gets soaked.

11. Step 10:

    

    For the glaze, combine the broken chocolate with cream. Heat, stirring constantly, so that the chocolate melts. Then add a little butter. Mix it up. Decorate the top of the cake with chocolate icing, letting the chocolate flow down the sides a little.
