INGREDIENTS
1 kg of sour cherries
a cup of sugar
6 eggs
6 tablespoons of powdered sugar
6 tablespoons of flour
a teaspoon of lemon juice
2 tablespoons of cocoa
1 teaspoon of rum essence

Servings: 10

PREPARATION RECIPE Sour Cherry Cake Dessert:
The cake recipe is the same as for apricot cake and strawberry cake.
First, wash the cherries, remove the pits and sprinkle them with a cup of sugar. We need to leave them like that for a few hours until they sweeten a little, the sugar melts and a syrup forms.
Preheat the oven.
Drain the juice from the cherries and prepare a syrup with cold water that is drunk without stopping :), especially since it is hot in the kitchen from the oven 🙂
Separate the yolks from the whites. Beat the yolks well with the powdered sugar, adding one tablespoon at a time. Then add the flour, spoon by spoon, mixing the composition with a wooden spoon or spatula, from the bottom up.
Beat the whites until foamy with lemon juice and pour over the yolk composition. Mix very slowly with a wooden spoon, from the bottom up, until well incorporated and a fluffy dough is obtained.
Separate half of the mixture and add the cocoa and rum essence. Mix slowly, from the bottom up.
In a 20×30 cm tray, place baking paper, add the white mixture, then the cocoa mixture, and on top the cherries, well drained of syrup.
Bake the cherry cake at 180 degrees for 15-20 minutes, until the toothpick test passes. Remove the tray from the oven and leave to cool, then cut.
Dust the cherry cake with powdered sugar.
TIPS
You can also use cherries from compote, well drained or frozen cherries, without pits.
