Desert - Cherry Cake by Tamara B. - Recipia

This delicious biscuit and cherry cake recipe is perfect for any occasion, whether it's an anniversary, a family gathering, or simply a summer evening. We start by preparing the biscuit base. We take 200 g of biscuits, which we finely crush until we achieve a fine texture. These will form the delicious base of our cake. Then, we add the melted butter, mixing carefully until the mixture becomes homogeneous. We transfer the mixture into a 24 cm diameter cake pan with a detachable ring. It is essential to press the biscuits well so that we obtain a firm base that can withstand moisture. After achieving a smooth surface, we refrigerate for about 30 minutes to firm up. In the meantime, we take care of the cherries. We pit the cherries using a clip or a special tool, being careful not to damage the fruit. After finishing this process, we put the pitted cherries to boil in a pot, along with the sugar, for about 10 minutes. This step will help release the juice from the cherries and create a delicious syrup. After boiling, we strain the cherries, keeping the syrup. We let the cherries cool a bit, and in the meantime, we take care of the gelatin. We hydrate the gelatin in 100 ml of cold water and then melt it in a bain-marie. In half of the remaining syrup, we add the melted gelatin, mixing well to integrate it. We pour this syrup over the biscuit base, ensuring it is evenly distributed. Then, we sprinkle the drained cherries all over the surface, creating a pleasant contrast of colors and flavors. We put the cake back in the fridge for 30 minutes, so the gelatin can set a little. After this time, we take the mold out of the fridge and sprinkle the remaining biscuits, which we have broken into small pieces. These will add a crunchy texture to the cake. Over the biscuits, we pour the remaining syrup in which we added the melted gelatin, ensuring that every corner of the cake is covered. Finally, we decorate the cake with whole cherries, which will add an attractive look and a fresh note. It is ideal to let the cake chill, preferably overnight, to set perfectly and combine the flavors. The next day, it is ready to be sliced and enjoyed. Enjoy your meal!
