   Pour in the dough and bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 25 minutes. Let the sponge cake cool down a little, remove from the mould and let it cool down completely. Cut the base in half horizontally. Cover the bottom cake base with a cake ring. For the filling, soak gelatine in cold water. Mix sour cream, 50 g sugar and cherry syrup. Squeeze the gelatine, dissolve at lukewarm. Stir 1 tablespoon of the mixed sour cream into the gelatine, then stir into the rest of the cream. Chill until the cream begins to set. In the meantime, whip the cream until stiff and allow the vanillin sugar to trickle in. Fold cream and chocolate flakes into the cream. Spread 2/3 of the cream on the bottom cake layer. Place the second sponge cake on top and spread the rest of the cream on top. Place in the fridge for about 30 minutes.

Whipped cream tastes good with it
