Ingredients
  

  • 150 g soft butter (for dough and sprinkles)
  • 100 g sugar (for dough)
  • 1 medium egg (for dough)
  • 3 tablespoons baking cocoa (for dough)
  • 250 g flour (Type 405)
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • a pinch salt
  • 350 g shadow morelle cherries (drained weight)
  • 125 g soft butter (for filling)
  • 120 g sugar (for filling)
  • 2 medium eggs (for filling)
  • 500 g lean curd
  • 1 pack vanilla pudding powder

Equipment

  • Mixer with dough hooks
  • Springform pan (Ø 26 cm)
  • Sieve for draining cherries
  • Baking tray
  • Cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Combine all dough ingredients in a large bowl and knead with dough hooks for about 5 minutes until smooth and pliable.
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C (fan) or 160°C (conventional) and grease a springform pan (Ø 26 cm) with butter.
  1. Press two-thirds of the dough evenly into the base of the pan, creating a slight edge around the sides (about 3 cm high).
  1. Drain the cherries and spread them evenly over the dough base.
  1. In another bowl, beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs one at a time, mixing well after each.
  1. Stir in the curd and vanilla pudding powder until the mixture is smooth, then pour it over the cherries.
  1. Break off small pieces of the remaining dough and scatter them over the top of the cake.
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-55 minutes until golden brown, then let cool completely before removing from the pan.

Notes

To enhance the chocolate flavor, add a teaspoon of instant coffee powder to the dough. Always drain the cherries well to avoid soggy layers. Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze individual slices for up to 2 months. For special occasions, dust with icing sugar through a stencil for an elegant presentation. Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for added indulgence!
