Directions

  1. 1

    Roughly chop the chocolate. Knead almonds, nuts, 15 g starch, sugar, cinnamon, cloves and eggs with the dough hooks of the hand mixer until smooth. Knead the chopped chocolate into the mixture. Cover and chill overnight. Line the bottom of a springform pan (26 cm Ø) with baking paper. Spread the dough with your hands on the base and press it down evenly with the palm of your hand (it sticks a little !). Bake in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: level 2) for about 30 minutes. Drain the cherries and collect the juice. Remove the cake, remove the chocolate base from the edge and let it cool down.

  2. 2

    Remove baking paper from the base. Place the base on a cake plate and close a cake ring around it. Stir 35 g starch, 1 packet of vanilla sugar and 2 tablespoons of cherry juice until smooth. Bring the rest of the cherry juice and lemon zest to the boil, remove from the heat, stir in the starch and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove lemon zest and add cherries (put 8 cherries aside for decoration). Pour the stewed cherries immediately onto the base and smooth them down. Let it cool down. Soak the gelatine in cold water. Mix the double cream and 200 ml advocaat. Squeeze the gelatine. Heat 50 ml advocaat and dissolve the gelatine in it. Stir gelatine with 6 tablespoons of cream until smooth, add to the remaining cream and stir. Place in a cool place until the cream begins to gel (approx. 5 minutes). In the meantime, whip 250 g cream and 1 packet of vanilla sugar until stiff. Fold the cream into the cream and spread on the cherry compote. Chill for about 4 hours. Meanwhile bring 250 ml water to the boil, remove from the heat.
