Hello, everybody!
So you know that I offer you simple homemade recipes. I make my own meals and take pictures. This chocolate biscuit with cherry filling is quick to make.... As usual, I'm experimenting as a pastry chef and practicing as a photographer. It's not always easy.
So, be careful! Once you try one bite of this delicious dessert, it will be impossible to stop .... Do you like cherries and chocolate?
Okay, chocolate cherry sponge cake. My version of the recipe
Ingredients:
For the chocolate biscuit
- 80g egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons sugar to the egg yolk
- 110g egg white
- sugar - 4 tablespoons add to egg white
- Flour - 4 tablespoons.
- Cocoa powder - 2 tablespoons
- Dark chocolate - 50-70g (according to your taste)
For stuffing
- Cherries - 200-250 g (pitted, frozen, in own juice or fresh)
- Sugar - 2 tbsp.
- Corn starch - 2 tbsp.
Different types of cherries work well together here. Fresh cherries are of course the best option, but you can also use frozen ones. I used frozen ( from my mom's garden )
Attention:Cherries🍒must be pitted! Take care of your teeth 🤔
Step by Step:
Prepare the cherry filling.
Mix sugar with cornstarch, add to cherries, mix. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly, 30 seconds,. Let cool.
