Preparation time: 20 minutes
Baking time: 30 minutes
Total time: 50 minutes
Number of servings: 12

Ingredients

- 10 eggs (preferably small)
- 10 tablespoons of sugar
- 10 tablespoons of flour
- 100 g butter (70% fat)
- 30 g cocoa
- 1 packet of ammonium
- 350 g cherries (preferably fresh or frozen)
- White and dark chocolate chips
- For the glaze:
- 100 g dark chocolate
- 3-4 tablespoons of oil

Preparation

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before starting. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy cake. Sifting the flour and cocoa is also important to avoid clumps.

2. Melting the butter: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, add the cocoa and mix well until everything is combined. Let the mixture cool slightly.

3. Preparing the batter:
- In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. This will help the cake to be airy.
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until they become a light-colored cream. Add the melted butter and cocoa mixture to this composition and mix well.
- Sift the flour and ammonium next. Incorporate them into the egg yolk mixture, mixing gently.

4. Folding in the egg whites: Add the beaten egg whites in two or three stages, using a spatula or wooden spoon. Do this with gentle upward motions to prevent the air from escaping.

5. Preparing the baking tray: Use a tray measuring 24/36 cm, lined with baking paper. Pour the obtained mixture into the tray.

6. Adding the cherries: Before adding the cherries, toss them in flour to prevent them from sinking. Place them evenly over the batter in the tray and add the white and dark chocolate chips.

7. Baking: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and place the tray inside. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes. You can check if it’s done using a simple toothpick test; if it comes out clean, the cake is baked.

8. Cooling and glazing: After baking, let the cake cool completely in the tray. Meanwhile, prepare the glaze: melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie and add the oil. Mix well until you get a smooth composition. Pour the glaze over the cooled cake and let it set.

9. Serving: It is recommended to let the cake rest until the next day, if you can resist the temptation! When it's time to serve, use a knife dipped in hot water to cut perfect portions.

Practical tips

- Ammonium: This is a raising agent that helps the cake to be fluffy. Make sure it is fresh for the best results.
- Cherries: If using frozen cherries, there is no need to thaw them before adding to the cake. They will add moisture and delicious flavor.
- Chocolate: You can customize your cake using different types of chocolate, depending on your preferences. Milk chocolate can provide a sweeter taste, while dark chocolate will add a pleasant contrast.

Possible variations

- You can replace the cherries with other fruits, such as raspberries or blackberries, to create a cake with different flavors.
- Add chopped nuts or almonds to the batter for a crunchy texture.

Nutritional benefits

This cake offers a balance of carbohydrates and proteins due to the eggs, and chocolate contains beneficial antioxidants. Cherries are rich in vitamins and minerals, contributing to a healthy diet.
