  • Drunk Cherry Cake

    From River Fox@3:633/280.2 to All on Sun Feb 16 23:46:42 2025
    This Drunk Cherry Cake takes about 2 hours of cooking and a day of
    waiting. Absolutely worth it, though!

    Ingredients:

    Cherries: 1 cup
    Rum/Cognac: ~3/4 cups
    Butter: 300g + 90g
    Flour: 160g
    Cocoa powder: 30g
    Baking powder: 1 tsp
    Eggs: 5
    Sugar: 180g
    Condensed milk: 380g
    Dark chocolate: 150g

    Preparation:

    Soak cherries in rum/cognac for 12 hours in the fridge.
    Bring 300g of butter to room temperature.
    Sift together flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

    Cake Layers:

    Beat eggs and sugar until fluffy.
    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the egg mixture.
    Bake at 180øC (350øF) for 40 minutes.
    Once cooled down, cut the baked cake into 3 layers.
    Remove the center from the middle layer to create a ring.

    Filling:

    Strain cherries well while keeping the syrup.
    Beat 300g of butter until white and fluffy.
    Gradually add condensed milk, mixing well after each addition.
    Crumble the removed part of the middle layer, mix in to the filling.

    Assembly:

    Each layer needs to be soaked with alcohol, 2-3 tbsp for top/bottom layer. Place the bottom layer and the cake ring first.
    Spread the filling evenly, cover with the top part.
    Refrigerate the cake for 4-6 hours.

    Glaze:

    Melt chocolate with 90g of butter.
    Pour the glaze over the cake.

    Hi! Sure, I did try the recipe before posting here. It turned out quite
    well, though I definitely need more practice with the piping bag :-D

    Unfortunately, I don't think I can post photographs on here.

    Correct. You can't/shouldn't post images in rec.food.baking.

    What you can do is upload your pictures to an image sharing site and
    post the URL in rec.food.baking.
