Ingredients
- 400 g flour
- 280 g sugar
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 500 g butter (room temperature)
- 5 egg(s) (room temperature)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 100 ml milk (room temperature)
- 30 g cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 50 ml milk
- 1 jar sour cherries (or shadow morello cherries (700 g drained weight))
- 1 packet vanilla pudding powder
- 100 g sugar (30 g of it for mixing the pudding powder)
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- 400 ml milk (6 tbsp of it for mixing the pudding powder)
- 250 g butter (room temperature)
- 300 g dark chocolate
- 20 g coconut oil (Palmin)
Instructions
- 1. Beat the butter together with the vanilla sugar and sugar until creamy, until the mixture looks significantly lighter and airier.
- 2. Add the eggs (preferably at room temperature) gradually and mix well.
- 3. Mix the flour with the baking powder and salt.
- 4. When the butter-egg mixture has a pudding-like consistency, add the flour mixture and milk alternately and mix until smooth.
- 5. Spread half of the batter evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or in a greased cake pan.
- 6. Stir the cocoa powder and the remaining milk into the remaining batter and spread this dark layer evenly over the light dough surface.
- 7. Press the well-drained cherries slightly into the surface.
- 8. This causes the dark dough to sink slightly into the light one, forming the typical wave pattern.
- 9. Bake the cake at 165 °C top/bottom heat for 30 to 35 minutes.
- 10. Let it cool completely afterwards.
- 11. Meanwhile, prepare the vanilla pudding.
- 12. Mix the ready-made pudding powder with some sugar and milk until smooth.
- 13. Heat the remaining milk together with the remaining sugar until it is just about to boil.
- 14. Add the mixed pudding powder and boil the pudding for 1 minute while stirring constantly.
- 15. Fill it into a bowl, cover it with cling film (the film must touch the pudding directly to prevent a skin from forming) and let it cool to room temperature.
- 16. Once the cake and pudding have cooled down, continue.
- 17. Beat the butter for 3 to 4 minutes until it looks almost white.
- 18. Stir the cooled pudding until smooth and add it gradually to the butter, beat everything together until creamy.
- 19. Spread the cream evenly over the cake and place it in the refrigerator for about half an hour.
- 20. Use this time for the chocolate glaze.
- 21. Melt the couverture chocolate together with the palm shortening over a warm water bath.
- 22. Make sure the chocolate is only heated very gently and does not get too hot, otherwise the butter cream on the cake will melt.
- 23. Pour the glaze over the chilled cream and smooth it out.
- 24. Optionally, you can drag a serrated dough scraper through the still soft chocolate to create a wavy pattern.
- 25. The cake stays fresh for up to 3 days when kept well chilled.
