- Preparation: 40 min
- Cooking: 35 min
- Makes: 1 serving (172 g)
- Difficulty: Hard
- Diets: Vegetarian
- Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten
Ingredients
- 25 g Flour, all-purpose
- 20 g Butter, unsalted
- 20 g Sugar
- 20 g Eggs, whole, raw
- 4 g Cocoa powder
- 40 g Cherries, sour
- 1 g Baking powder
- 30 g Milk, whole
- 3 g Cornstarch
- 1 g Vanilla extract
- 8 g Chocolate, dark
Method
- Makes 1 slice; multiply the ingredients by 12 for a whole cake. Cream half the butter with the sugar and eggs until fluffy, then fold in the flour and baking powder.
- Divide the batter in two; stir the cocoa powder into one half to make a chocolate batter.
- Spread the plain batter in a lined tin, dot with spoonfuls of the chocolate batter, and swirl lightly with a knife for a marbled effect; scatter the drained cherries over the top.
- Bake at 175 °C (350 °F) for 25-30 minutes until a skewer comes out clean; cool completely.
- Make the pudding layer: whisk the cornstarch into the milk, bring to a simmer, whisking, until thickened, then stir in the vanilla and cool.
- Beat the remaining butter until fluffy, then beat in the cooled pudding a spoonful at a time to make a smooth buttercream; spread over the cooled cake.
- Melt the chocolate and pour it over the buttercream in a thin, even layer.
- Chill until the glaze sets, then cut a slice with a warm knife for a clean edge.
