Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Combine 2 oounces of caster sugar with 2 ounces of water and bring to the boil
  2. Remove from the heat and add the cherries and set aside to cool
  3. When cool ,strain ,discard the liquid ,and coarsely chop the cherries
  4. Preheat the oven to 280 F
  5. Combine the butter ,cherries ,and chocolate in a large bowl ,stirring until well combined ,and set aside
  6. Whisk the egg yolks ,all 16 , and 7 ounces sugar , in an electric mixer until thick and pale ,about 4-5 minutes
  7. Then fold in the chocolate mixture and set aside
  8. Now whisk the eggwhites in an electric mixer until frothy ,then with the motor running ,gradually add the remaining sugar in a continuous stream and whisk until soft peaks form ,about 3-4 minutes .
  9. Fold the Dutch cocoa into the chocolate mixture carefully with a metal spoon
  10. Stir the sour cream until smooth then fold into the chocolate mix
  11. Now fold in the eggwhite to the mix as well
  12. Pour into a 12 inch spring form tin , well lined with non-stick baking paper to prevent leaking .I use my cheese cake tin.
  13. Bake in the oven for 30 mins then rotate the pan a half turn ,and cook a further 30 mins
  14. Now check every 5 mins or so until the edges are set and the centre is still slightly fudgy ,about another 15 mins
  15. Set aside to cool completely then release from the spring-form pan
  16. Dust with cocoa ,optional ,and serve with Creme fraiche ,the slightly soured French cream -or normal cream if you wish .
  17. A lot of work but a cake worthy of your best occasion ,and a very adult and rich flavour . Make a normal cake for the kids and eat this one yourself ! It will keep in a cool place for 4 days ,if it lasts that long
