This cake is a true feast for the senses, with a moist base, a fine cream, and a chocolate glaze that perfectly complements each bite.

Ingredients For the base: - 8 eggs - 350 g granulated sugar - 2 packets vanilla sugar - 350 ml canola oil - 350 ml milk - 2 packets baking powder - 1 teaspoon vinegar - A pinch of salt - Grated zest of 1 lemon - 700 g white wheat flour - 3 tablespoons cocoa powder - 300 g pitted cherries (frozen) For the cream: - 800 ml milk - 2 packets vanilla pudding (preferably Dr. Oetker) - 6 tablespoons granulated sugar - 1 vial vanilla essence - 300 g butter (85% fat) - 100 g powdered sugar For the glaze: - 200 g dark chocolate - 4 tablespoons Nutella - 50 g butter (85% fat) Preparing the cake 1. Preparing the base: - Start by preheating the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. - In a large bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, granulated sugar, and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes frothy and light in color. - Gradually add the oil and milk, continuing to mix gently until well combined. - In another bowl, combine the flour with the baking powder and lemon zest, then incorporate them into the wet mixture, mixing gently until you achieve a uniform batter. 2. Dividing the batter: - Divide the batter into two equal parts. In one of them, add the cocoa powder and mix well until you achieve a uniform color. 3. Baking the cake: - Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the yellow batter into the tray, followed by the cocoa batter, ideally in waves. - Sprinkle the cherries over the entire surface of the cake. - Place the tray in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes. Check the cake with a toothpick test: if the toothpick comes out clean, the cake is ready. 4. Preparing the cream: - In a saucepan, bring 800 ml of milk to a boil. In a bowl, mix the pudding powder with the 6 tablespoons of sugar and 100 ml of cold milk. When the milk boils, add the diluted pudding mixture and stir vigorously to avoid lumps. - After the pudding has thickened, cover the pot and let it cool. - Beat the butter with the powdered sugar until creamy. Gradually add the cooled pudding, mixing gently to obtain a fluffy cream. 5. The glaze: - Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie, along with the Nutella. Add the butter and stir until you achieve a smooth and shiny glaze. Let it cool for about 10 minutes. 6. Assembling the cake: - Once the base has completely cooled, spread the cream evenly over the surface of the cake. - Pour the chocolate glaze on top and, using a fork, create waves across the entire surface of the cake. - It is ideal to let the cake chill in the refrigerator, preferably until the next day. This allows the flavors to blend perfectly. Chef's tip If you want to add a touch of freshness, you can replace the cherries with other seasonal fruits, such as raspberries or blueberries. You can also add a little cinnamon to the cocoa batter for a deeper flavor. Nutritional benefits This cake is not only a culinary delight but also a source of energy due to the content of eggs, milk, and sugars. A serving provides approximately 350 calories. It is a dessert rich in healthy fats due to the canola oil and butter, while the cherries add a boost of vitamin C and antioxidants. Frequently asked questions - Can I use another type of flour? Yes, you can experiment with whole wheat or almond flour, but the texture of the cake may vary. - How can I store the cake? I recommend keeping the cake in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It can be consumed even after 3 days, but the taste is best if left to rest overnight. - What drinks pair well with this cake? A fruit tea or a coffee with chocolate notes pairs perfectly with this decadent cake. Serving suggestion Served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream, the Danube Waves Cake becomes an unforgettable dessert. You can also add a sprig of fresh mint for an elegant touch. I encourage you to try this recipe and enjoy every bite! Whether you prepare it for a special occasion or simply to treat yourself, this cake will surely impress everyone who tastes it. Happy cooking and enjoy your meal!
