Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions

Step 1

Prepare a springform pan with a diameter of 20-22 for baking chocolate cherry pie. Brush it with butter and sprinkle with sugar. Heat the oven to 170°C.

Step 2

Break the chocolate and, together with butter and 30 g of sugar, put on low heat. Stirring, heat until a mass of a homogeneous consistency is obtained. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract and let cool.

Step 3

Separate the eggs for the pie dough into whites and yolks. Put the whites in the refrigerator until use. Add the yolks one at a time to the chocolate mass, whisking with a whisk on low speed. Add flour sifted with salt and mix.

Step 4

Beat the whites with a mixer on high speed until soft peaks. Gradually add the remaining sugar. Beat until strong peaks. Sugar must be completely dispersed in the protein mass.

Step 5

Mix a third of the protein mass into the chocolate. Then, whisking lightly with a whisk or fork, add the remaining egg whites. Stir quickly. The chocolate pie dough is ready.

Step 6

Pour the dough into the prepared form and place in the oven for 35-40 minutes. The top of the finished cake should spring back slightly when pressed. Let the cake rest in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.

Step 7

Prepare the chocolate pie sauce. Place the cherries, sugar, lemon zest and wine in a small bowl. Put on fire and, stirring, bring to a boil. Cook over low heat for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Step 8

Transfer the cooled chocolate cake to a large plate and pour over the cold cherry sauce. Serve immediately. You can decorate with mint or lemon balm leaves.
