Ingredients
- 250 ml Milch
- 12 EL Mehl (für den Teig)
- 250 g Becher Sahne
- 1 Paket Sahnesteif
- 12 EL Mehl
- 1 Paket Backpulver
- 4 EL Kakaopulver
- 1/2 Glas Schattenmorellen (abgetropfte Kirschen)
- 4 Eier
- 12 EL Öl
- 12 EL Zucker (nach Belieben weniger)
- 1 Packung Vanillezucker
- Schokoladenraspel oder Kokosraspel
Instructions
- Begin by preparing your baking area and gathering all ingredients. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F). Lightly grease a 24 cm (approximately 9.5 inch) springform pan to prevent the cake from sticking during baking.
- In a large mixing bowl, crack 4 eggs. Add 12 tablespoons of oil, 1 packet of vanilla sugar, and 12 tablespoons of sugar (you can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste). Using an electric mixer or a whisk, beat these ingredients together until the mixture becomes light, fluffy, and creamy. This process helps incorporate air, which will contribute to a light cake texture.
- In a separate bowl, combine 12 tablespoons of all-purpose flour with 1 packet of baking powder. Mix these dry ingredients thoroughly to ensure even distribution of the baking powder throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry flour and baking powder mixture into the wet egg mixture, gently folding or mixing at low speed to avoid deflating the batter. This step helps create the cake structure.
- Next, pour in 250 ml of milk and 4 tablespoons of cocoa powder into the batter. Mix everything well until the batter is smooth and homogenous, with no lumps of flour or cocoa powder remaining. The cocoa will give your cake a rich chocolate flavor.
- Pour the prepared batter into the greased springform pan, spreading it evenly with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Drain half a glass of Schattenmorellen (sour cherries) thoroughly to remove excess liquid. Evenly distribute the cherries on top of the cake batter in the pan. The cherries will add moisture and a pleasant tart contrast to the sweet chocolate cake.
- Place the springform pan in the preheated oven and bake the cake for approximately 30 minutes. To check if the cake is done, insert a toothpick or skewer into the center; it should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs but no raw batter.
- Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and allow it to cool completely in the pan. After cooling, gently poke small holes or pricks all over the surface of the cake using a fork or skewer.
- Slowly drizzle 250 ml of milk over the cooled cake, allowing it to soak in gradually. This step helps keep the cake moist and adds extra flavor. Cover the cake with plastic wrap or a lid and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator to allow the milk to fully absorb and the flavors to meld.
- The next day, prepare the topping by pouring 250 g of cold cream into a mixing bowl. Add 1 packet of Sahnesteif (cream stabilizer) to the cream and beat it with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. The cream should be thick enough to hold its shape when lifted with the whisk.
- Carefully remove the cake from the springform pan and spread the whipped cream evenly over the top of the cake, covering the entire surface smoothly with a spatula or knife.
- Finally, sprinkle the cake generously with chocolate sprinkles or coconut flakes to decorate and add extra texture and flavor.
- Refrigerate the finished cake for at least another hour before serving to allow the cream topping to set and the flavors to combine perfectly. Serve chilled and enjoy your moist, flavorful 12-spoon cake without weighing ingredients!
Notes
You can adjust the amount of sugar according to your preference to make the cake less sweet. Using sour cherries (Schattenmorellen) adds a wonderful tartness that balances the sweetness of the cake. Letting the cake soak overnight is crucial for moistness and flavor depth. For a variation, try using fresh or frozen cherries if Schattenmorellen are not available. The use of cream stabilizer (Sahnesteif) helps the whipped cream hold its shape longer, especially if the cake is served on warm days.
