What you need
To make this cake, you will need the following ingredients:
12 pieces
200 g of butter
1 pinch of salt
2 packets of vanillin sugar
175 g + 4 tbsp of sugar
3 eggs (size M)
250 g of flour
½ packet of baking powder
1 glass (720 ml) of morello cherries
150 ml of mulled wine
1 parcel of pudding powder (vanilla flavor for cooking, for 500 ml liquid)
2 teaspoons of cinnamon
400 g of whipped cream
Fat for the mold
You will also need a springform pan (26 cm diameter), a sieve, a saucepan, a whisk, a spatula, and a cake plate.
How to make it
To make this cake, you need to follow these steps:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (top and bottom heat). Grease the springform pan with some fat and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix the butter, salt, 2 packets of vanillin sugar, and 175 g of sugar until creamy. Add the eggs one at a time and whisk well after each addition.
In a separate bowl, sift the flour and baking powder together. Gradually add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir until well combined. The batter should be smooth and thick.
Pour the batter into the prepared springform pan and spread it evenly with a spatula. Bake the cake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the cake cool slightly in the pan, then remove it and place it on a cake plate. Let it cool completely.
Pour the cherries into a sieve over a bowl and collect the juice. You should have about 350 ml of juice. Add the mulled wine to the juice and mix well. Set aside 50 ml of the juice mixture for later use.
In a saucepan, bring the remaining juice mixture and 2 tablespoons of sugar to a boil over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, whisk the pudding powder and the reserved juice mixture until smooth. Stir the pudding mixture into the boiling juice mixture and cook, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute, or until thickened. Remove from the heat and add the cherries. Stir gently to coat them with the sauce.
Spoon the cherry mixture over the cake and spread it evenly. Refrigerate the cake for about 2 hours, or until the topping is set.
In a large bowl, whip the cream until stiff peaks form. Add the cinnamon and the remaining sugar and whisk until well combined. Dollop the cream over the cherry topping and spread it lightly with a spatula. Sprinkle some more cinnamon sugar over the cream for decoration.
Cut the cake into 12 pieces and enjoy!
