For 12 portions

Ingredients

Dough:

6 egg yolks
200 g sugar
0,5 dl warm water
0,5 dl oil
1 packet baking powder
200 g semi-coarse flour
0,5 dl milk
6 egg whites
a pinch of salt
2 tablespoons cocoa

Cream:

6 dl cherry juice
2 packets vanilla pudding powder
5 tablespoons sugar
150 g butter or margarine
1 jar cherry compote (without pits)

For the top:

500 ml whipping cream
2 packets whipped cream stabilizer (Smeta-fix)
grated chocolate

Preparation procedure

Dough preparation Whisk the egg whites with a pinch of salt into stiff peaks. Beat the egg yolks with the sugar until frothy, add the cocoa, warm water, oil and gradually fold in the flour mixed with the baking powder. Finally pour in the milk and gently fold in the whipped egg whites. Pour the batter onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 20–25 minutes. Check doneness with a skewer test. After baking, let the cake cool and remove the parchment paper.
Cream preparation From the cherry juice, sugar and pudding powder, cook a thick pudding. Add the cherries to the still hot pudding and simmer briefly. As soon as the mixture cools slightly, add the butter and mix thoroughly. Spread the lukewarm cream evenly over the cooled cocoa base and let cool completely.
Finishing Whip the whipping cream with the stabilizer into a firm whipped cream. Spread the whipped cream over the cooled cherry cream and sprinkle the surface with grated chocolate. Before serving, let the slices rest in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
