Cake "Drunken Cherry": a simple recipe

To start making a cake "Drunken cherry" you need in advance - at least twelve hours, but even better in two or three days. This means that during this time we will "solder" the cherry. If it is fresh ("sober"), it will turn out to be acidic in the cake. So, take 2 glasses of berries, mine, remove the bones and fill with a glass of alcohol. Which one? Here, to your taste: in the cognac, the cherry will turn out to be spicy, in wine - with a pronounced sourness, cherry pouring, because of a small degree, will make it "slightly tipsy", retaining fresh fruit taste, and cherry liqueur will emphasize the taste of berries and make them Be sweet. It is permissible to dissolve two tablespoons of sugar in alcohol (especially if we are dealing with a frozen product).

When the berries reach the condition, we make the cake "Drunken Cherry". The basis of it is a biscuit dough, which all housewives probably can do. We take five eggs and separate the proteins from the yolks. To the second we pour a glass of sugar, mixed with a bag of vanilla sugar and 4 tablespoons of cocoa, and grind. A good market sour cream (thick, but without emulsifiers and other chemicals) is scooped generously with a tablespoon, kneaded with yolks, add one more spoon, and mix again. A glass of flour is poured in small portions, very carefully, avoiding the formation of lumps.

Mixer whisk the proteins into a hard foam. Gradually add them to the cake "Drunken Cherry", using a spoon from the bottom up, so that the squirrels do not fall, and the flour does not settle. This is a very important moment - it is good to mix a biscuit dough. Now there are only trifles left: lubricate the baking dish with oil, powder the flour, pour in the dough and place in the oven preheated to 180 ° C. The first 20 minutes the door can not be opened, otherwise you will get a flat cake. When the cake is baked, take it out, allow it to cool and cut along with a sharp knife or a stiff string.

From the bottom layer of the spoon gently remove the flesh, leaving the walls and bottom. Berries get out of alcohol and allow to drain on the sieve. The cream in the "Drunken Cherry" cake is used the simplest: a pack of softened butter is mixed with half a can of condensed milk, and in the end 2-3 spoons of alcohol are added, in which the berries were soaked. With this mass, we lubricate the "box" (the walls and the bottom of the lower layer of the dough) and the top layer at the cut site. In the remaining mass, we pour bits of biscuit and our drunken berries. Then we complete the "box" and cover with the "lid" - the upper part of the biscuit.

"You got the" Drunken Cherry ". The cake will look more elegant, if the top of it is something to decorate. It can be a glaze, which you can make from oil, chocolate bars, sugar powder, cocoa and 1 tbsp. Tablespoons of starch. Melt all the ingredients in a saucepan until the chocolate becomes liquid. Remove from heat and add 4 tablespoons of alcohol from the cherries. When the glaze will be slightly warm and thick, cover the walls and pour the top of the culinary product in two steps. Immediately put it in the refrigerator for an hour. If you guessed to leave a few berries, decorate them with your cake "Drunken Cherry".
