This combination of intense chocolate and the pleasant acidity of sour cherries will surely delight everyone's taste buds. Here’s how you can prepare this simple and delicious cake step by step. Ingredients for the chocolate base: - 200 g dark chocolate (minimum 55% cocoa) - 150 g butter - 250 g sugar - 5 eggs - 150 g flour - 1 packet baking powder - A pinch of salt Ingredients for the yogurt cream: - 400 g Greek yogurt - 200 ml whipping cream - 100 g powdered sugar - 1 vanilla essence - 4 sheets of gelatin - 250 g sour cherries (fresh or frozen) Ingredients for decoration: - Fresh sour cherries or from compote - Grated chocolate or chocolate flakes Step 1: Preparing the chocolate base Start by preheating the oven to 180°C. In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate together with the butter in a bain-marie, stirring constantly until you get a homogeneous mixture. Once melted, let it cool slightly. In another bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until they become a fluffy, light-colored foam. Add the cooled chocolate mixture, mixing gently to avoid losing air from the eggs. Incorporate the flour mixed with baking powder and salt, stirring gently until well combined. Pour the mixture into a cake pan (24 cm in diameter) lined with baking paper and bake for 30 minutes. Let it cool completely before removing it from the pan. Step 2: Preparing the yogurt cream In a small bowl, soak the gelatin sheets in cold water for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, mix the Greek yogurt with the powdered sugar and vanilla essence. Whip the cream until it becomes firm and carefully fold it into the yogurt mixture. After the gelatin sheets have softened, drain them and melt them in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the yogurt cream to the melted gelatin to temper it, then incorporate the gelatin into the rest of the yogurt cream, mixing well. Step 3: Assembling the cake Cut the chocolate base into two or three layers, depending on your preference. Place the first layer on a serving platter and cover it with a portion of the yogurt cream. Add a layer of sour cherries, then repeat the process with the next layers. Finish with yogurt cream on top. Step 4: Decorating the cake For an elegant look, decorate the cake with fresh sour cherries or from compote and sprinkle grated chocolate on top. Let the cake sit in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving, so the flavors can blend perfectly. Suggestions and variations: - You can replace the sour cherries with other seasonal fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, for a personalized version. - For added texture, add chopped nuts to the yogurt cream. - If you want a more decadent cake, you can add a layer of chocolate ganache between the layers of base and cream. This chocolate cake with yogurt cream and sour cherries will surely be the star of any festive meal. Enjoy it alongside a cup of coffee or tea to highlight its flavors. Enjoy your meal!
