Description

This chocolate cherry cake is a real eye-catcher on every coffee table! The juicy chocolate base, refined with cocoa and icing sugar, harmonizes perfectly with the creamy cream and the fruity Amarena cherries. I particularly like to bake this cake for Christmas or birthdays, as it simply looks festive and tastes incredibly delicious. The preparation is a little more complex, but the result is worth it. A tip: The cake can be prepared well in advance and tastes best when it has been refrigerated for a few hours.

Line a springform pan (approx. 26 cm diameter) with baking paper. Remove the dough from the fridge and roll it out on a floured work surface. Place the dough in the springform pan and pull up a small edge. Prick the dough several times with a fork. Cover the dough with baking paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approx. 25 minutes. Shortly before the end of the baking time, remove the baking paper and finish baking. Remove from the oven and let it cool.
