Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 40 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 1 cake
Cuisine: Slovak
Ingredients: 100 g Melted chocolate (hot); 120 g Butter; 150 g Powdered sugar; 4 Eggs; 120-150 g Semi-coarse wheat flour; 1 tsp Baking powder; 300 g Quark (farmer's cheese); 1 packet Vanilla sugar (20 g); 300 g Sour cherries; pinch Salt

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Melt the chocolate with the butter and stir well. Add two eggs, 50 g of the sugar, the salt, and the vanilla sugar, then add the flour and baking powder. Beat with a mixer until the batter is fluffy.
Beat the quark with the remaining sugar and eggs.
Pour a third of the batter into a cake pan, spread half the quark filling over it, and arrange the sour cherries on top. Add another layer of batter, followed by the remaining quark filling, and finish with the remaining batter.
Bake the cake at 180 °C (350 °F) for about 40 minutes. Once cool, dust with powdered sugar and decorate with sour cherries.

Tip: Test for doneness by inserting a skewer away from the cherries, since the fruit juices can leave a mark on it even when the cake is done.
