Let's cook
The chocolate sponge cake cooks very quickly, so do not forget to turn on the oven right away and heat up to 165 degrees.
- Sift 200 grams or 10 tbsp into a bowl. tablespoons without the top of wheat flour.
- 45 grams or 4.5 tbsp. cocoa spoons
- 200 grams or 10 tbsp. tablespoons without top sugar
- 3 grams or 1/2 tsp tablespoons of salt

Stir until smooth.

- Add 2 eggs
Stir until smooth.
- Add 12 grams or 1 tbsp. spoon of 9% vinegar
Stir until smooth.
I bake in a springform pan with a diameter of 19 cm.
I covered the bottom of the form with parchment paper, there is no need to lubricate the sides of the form with anything.
Pour the dough into a mold and flatten.
We remove the bake in an oven preheated to 165 degrees, for 60-70 minutes. My biscuit was baked for 65 minutes.
The baking time depends on the size of the pan in which you will bake and the temperature in the oven.
We check the readiness with a wooden stick, pierce it, if it comes out dry, without residues of wet dough, then the biscuit is ready.
We take out the biscuit from the oven and let it cool in the form for 15-20 minutes.
Next, carefully pass the knife along the edge of the form and free it from the form.
We transfer the biscuit to the wire rack and let it cool to room temperature.
Cut off the top of the cooled biscuit. At the end we will cover the cake with the cut off top.
Carefully select all the pulp from the bottom biscuit.
To do this, draw a knife around the circumference of the biscuit at a distance of 1.5 cm from the edge and select the pulp with a spoon.
Leaving the sides and bottom about 1.5 cm thick. Here's a biscuit "basket" turns out.
Let's prepare the cream
In the recipe I use Schogetten chocolateDark dark portioned.
- Melt in a microwave oven or in a water bath 100 grams of dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 50%
Stir the chocolate until smooth and set aside.
- Whisk 300 grams of cream cheese until airy
Cream cheese in this recipe can be replaced with soft, pasty curd.
How to cook such cottage cheese can be seen in my video below
Add to cream cheese
- 25 grams or 2.5 tbsp. spoons without topped sifted cocoa
- 150 grams of condensed milk
Stir until smooth, no need to beat.
- Add 100 grams of melted chocolate
Stir until smooth.
About 2/3 of the selected crumb, if you weigh on a scale, then I took 200 grams
Grind into crumbs
Pour the crumb into the cream and mix.
We postpone 1 full Art. a spoonful of chocolate mass, we will then coat the side of the cake with it.
- Pour 130 grams of frozen pitted cherries into the chocolate mass
You do not need to defrost frozen cherries in advance.
Instead of frozen cherries, you can use fresh pitted cherries.
Stir until smooth.
We fill the biscuit "basket" with chocolate mass.
We shift the entire chocolate mass evenly leveling.
Cover the cake with the previously cut top.
Let's make chocolate icing
- For 50 grams of butter, for convenience, I cut it into pieces
- Add 50 grams or ml of milk
- And 100 grams of chopped dark chocolate with a cocoa content of 50%
Heat everything together in a microwave oven or in a water bath and mix until smooth.
- Pour 50 grams of chopped roasted peanuts into the chocolate icing
Stir until smooth.
Peanuts can be substituted with any nuts you like.
- Cover the cake with icing evenly
We put the cake in the refrigerator to soak and stabilize for 5-6 hours, I usually put it away at night.
We release the finished cake from the form and the film.
Cover the side of the mold with the previously set aside chocolate mass.
