Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour sifted
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup fresh cherries pitted and halved
  • 1 cup fresh raspberries
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar for berries
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Chocolate shavings (for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare your round cake pans by greasing and lining them with parchment paper.
  2. Make the genoise: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar together until they become pale and fluffy. This can take about 6-8 minutes.
  3. Incorporate the flour: Gently fold in the sifted flour using a spatula until just combined, then add the melted butter and vanilla extract. Be careful not to deflate the batter!
  4. Bake the layers: Divide the batter equally between the prepared pans. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool completely in the pans.
  5. Prepare the filling: While the cakes cool, mix the pitted cherries and raspberries with half a cup of granulated sugar. Allow the mixture to macerate for about 30 minutes.
  6. Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. This will be used for layering!
  7. Assemble the cake: Once the genoise layers are cool, carefully remove them from the pans. Place one layer on a serving plate, spread some of the berry mixture on top, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat with the second layer.
  8. Finish with the topping: Place the last layer on top, and generously spread whipped cream over the entire cake. Garnish with chocolate shavings and some whole berries on top.
  9. Chill and serve: Chill the cake in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before slicing. Enjoy your delightful Sacripantina Cake!
