Directions

  1. 1

    Grease a box form (30 cm long; approx. 2.5 l capacity) and dust with flour. Drain the cherries.

  2. 2

    Separate two eggs. Mix fat, sugar and vanilla sugar until creamy. Stir in 2 egg yolks and 3 eggs separately. Mix 200 g of flour, ground nuts, starch and baking powder and stir in portions of the flour, ground nuts, starch and baking powder.

  3. 3

    Beat 2 egg whites and 1 pinch of salt until stiff. Mix the cherries with 1 tbsp. flour. First add the beaten egg whites, then the cherries and the chopped nuts to the dough.

  4. 4

    Spread the dough into the mould. Bake in the preheated oven (electric oven: 200 °C/circulating air: 175 °C/gas: level 3) for approx. 70 minutes (cover if necessary after approx. 30 minutes). Allow to cool for approx. 10 minutes, then turn out of the mould and allow to cool.

  5. 5

    Roast nut flakes without fat, let them cool down. Coarsely chop the chocolate coating. Melt in a hot bain-marie with plate-grease. Let it cool down for about 10 minutes until the chocolate icing is a little thicker. Cover the top of the cake with the chocolate icing and let it run a little over the edge.

  6. 6

    Sprinkle nut leaves on top. Let it dry.
