Total time: 60-65 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients:

- 8 eggs
- 350 g sugar
- 20 tablespoons oil (preferably sunflower for a more neutral flavor)
- Flour (as needed, approximately 400-450 g)
- Cherries from a jar of compote (approximately 500 g, well drained)
- 1 teaspoon baking soda extinguished in vinegar

Useful tips for ingredients:

1. Eggs: Make sure they are at room temperature for optimal foam.
2. Sugar: You can use brown sugar for a richer taste and a deeper color.
3. Cherries: If you have fresh cherries, feel free to use them; just make sure to pit them.
4. Oil: Oil plays an important role in keeping the cake moist, so don't skip it.

A brief history of poured cakes:

Poured cakes have a long history, being appreciated in many cultures for their versatility. They are often characterized by a fluffy and moist texture, and the addition of fruits makes them not only more appetizing but also healthier. Cherries, with their specific acidity, provide a perfect contrast to the sweetness of sugar.

Preparation techniques:

1. Separating the eggs: Start by separating the egg whites from the yolks. Use a large bowl for the egg whites to have enough space for the foam to form. Make sure the bowl is clean and dry for a perfect foam.

2. Beating the egg whites: Use an electric mixer to beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This step is crucial as the incorporated air will make the cake fluffier.

3. Adding the sugar: While continuing to mix, gradually add the sugar. This will help stabilize the egg white foam.

4. Incorporating the yolks: Add the yolks one by one, mixing well after each to incorporate them evenly.

5. The oil: Add the oil, mixing at low speed to avoid breaking the foam.

6. The flour and baking soda: Extinguish the baking soda in the vinegar and incorporate it into the mixture. Then, gradually add the flour using a wooden spoon to avoid losing air from the egg whites. The mixture should be homogeneous but not too soft.

7. Assembling the cake: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Pour half of the mixture into the tray. Evenly place the drained cherries over this half and then pour the remaining mixture on top.

8. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until it passes the toothpick test (insert it in the middle of the cake; if it comes out clean, it's ready).

Tips for a perfect result:

- If you want a taller cake, make sure to use a smaller tray.
- At the end, feel free to decorate the cake with whipped cream and melted chocolate for a special look.
- A delicious variation is to add some chopped nuts to the mixture for an extra texture.

Frequently asked questions:

1. Can I use other fruits? Yes, you can experiment with other fruits, such as strawberries or raspberries, depending on personal preferences.

2. How do I store the cake? The cake keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 3 days.

3. Is the cake suitable for a diet? If you want to reduce the calorie count, you can replace the sugar with a natural sweetener and the oil with applesauce.

Delicious combinations:

This cake pairs wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a cup of aromatic coffee. Additionally, a fruit tea would be the ideal companion on cooler days.

In the end, don't forget to enjoy every slice and share this moment with your loved ones! Enjoy!
