I fall in love with this cake every single time ♥️😍
This cake is so moist and creamy! I often end up with two slices on my plate!
Here’s how it’s done:
Ingredients:
For the Crust:
- 125g (1/2 cup) Softened Butter
- 130g (2/3 cup) Sugar
- 3 Eggs
- 70g (1/2 cup) Flour
- 120g (1 1/4 cups) Ground Almonds
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- 150g (5.3 oz) Melted Dark Chocolate
1 Jar of Sour Cherries
For the Cream:
- 250g (1 cup) Mascarpone
- 400g (1 2/3 cups) Quark (or Cream Cheese)
- 100g (1/2 cup) Sugar
- 1 packet of Vanilla Sugar
- 50-70g (1/3 – 1/2 cup) Chocolate Shavings
- 200g (7 oz) Heavy Cream
For the Topping:
- 50-100g (1/3 – 2/3 cup) Chocolate Shavings
- Beat the butter with sugar.
- Add the eggs one by one.
- Mix the flour with almonds and baking powder, then add it to the batter.
- Stir in the melted chocolate and mix everything well for about 2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into a 26cm (10-inch) round cake pan (I always place parchment paper in the greased pan).
- Drain the cherries and place them on the batter. Press the cherries gently into the batter with a spoon.
- Bake the cake for about 35-40 minutes at 160°C (320°F) convection.
- Mix mascarpone with quark (or cream cheese) and sugar.
- Whip the cream and then fold it into the mixture.
- Finally, add the chocolate shavings.
- Spread the cream on the cooled cake and decorate as you like. For the impatient ones (like me 😊), cut a piece right away. But the cake tastes even better if you let it sit in the refrigerator for an hour. 😅
Enjoy! 🍰😍
