Cherry White Chocolate Cake
by Feli Chic'Cuisine
This cake with cherries and white chocolate is a moist, delicate cake that is easy to make and studded with dark chocolate and juicy cherries. A wonderful harmony of flavors, this cake does not last long on the plate!
The ideal fruit to use for this recipe is sour cherries, since their aroma is unmistakable, but it also goes well with sweet black cherries.
In the region where I live, sour cherry fruits are scarce, so finding them is quite difficult. So I replaced the sour cherries with sweet black cherries, resulting in a cake with an equally fragrant flavor.
An easy-to-prepare cake!
Although it may seem like a complicated procedure at first glance, considering that white chocolate must be melted, it's basically quite easy to make this recipe.
White chocolate has a buttery texture, with more fat, milk and sugar, so it does not require long melting time. When it is greasy, it breaks easily and when put in the sea bath, it will melt immediately.
Meanwhile, mix whole eggs with sugar, add melted white chocolate, flour and pieces of dark chocolate, sprinkle with cherries and bake. Nothing could be simpler for a delicate cake!
This cake is a delicious dessert idea if you are looking for a new cherry recipe! It becomes the perfect dessert when served with a scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day.
