Ingredients:
- 5 eggs (over 5000'': keep chilled until just before using)
- 3/4 tsp)
- pinch of salt
- 2 oz cupornstarch/ 1/4 cup
- 3 oz ground blanched almonds/ at least 3/4 cup ( i always used much more than this, and it was fine)
- for the filling
- 1 cup well-drained canned or defrosted frozen cherries, not prepared for pie filling, sprinkled with 2 tsp granulated sugar just before using
Directions:
- Method:
- Cream the butter and gradually add the sugar, then vanilla, then melted chocolate, then eggs (one at a time), then salt and then whatever other flavoring.
- Sift the flour and measure; sift again with the cornstarch and baking powder. Fold into the batter a heaping spoonful at a time.
- Bake 40-45 min, or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out oily and with some crumbs rather than with batter.
- Assembly:
- Let the cake sit in the pan 10 min, then remove and set on a rack. Cool it completely.
- Slice through twice, into three layers. Use a serrated knife, or even dental floss (encircle the cake at the desired spot, pull tighter; when the floss has bitten through an inch or so, saw the floss back and forth across the cake.) Uneven layers are not the end of the world.
- Set the bottom layer on the cake plate you will be using, crumb-side down.
- Spread the layer with less than a quarter of the whipped cream.
- Then, distribute half the cherries over the whipped cream.
- Repeat for the next layer.
- Place the top layer on top.
- Decorate with a modest layer of whipped cream and a *very* light dusting of cocoa.
- Let it rest in the refrigerator perhaps an hour before serving.
- I’ve seen it decorated with maraschino cherries, but not in Germany. I wouldn’t do it.
