When we want to please our loved ones with something delicious, we bake a cake.
There are cakes familiar from childhood, which can be baked just on the weekend, such as Napoleon or honey. There are cakes that are prepared for special occasions. And one of them – the cake “Drunk Cherry”.

Ingredients:
for biscuit:
3 cups flour
2 cups sugar
1.5 cups of milk
1.5 cups of water
0.75 cups of oil
3 eggs
10 tablespoons cocoa powder
1.5 teaspoons baking powder
1.5 teaspoons of baking soda
for cream:
3 cups cherries
200 g of butter
1 can of condensed milk
150 ml of cognac
for glaze:
50 g of butter
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons milk
Preparation
Fill the pitted cherries with cognac, cover and leave to insist for 2-3 days, shaking occasionally.
For the biscuit, combine the sifted flour with the sugar, add the cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder and mix.
Beat the eggs lightly and, without stopping the beating, pour in the milk and oil. Then pour the dry mixture and mix well to obtain a thick homogeneous dough, then pour boiling water, mix quickly, pour the dough into a parchment-lined form and bake for 1.5 hours at 180 ° C.
Cool the finished sponge cake completely, cut off the top, and from the base choose a spoonful of crumbs to get a box.
Whip the softened butter with condensed milk, adding some of the cherry syrup. In the resulting cream, add biscuit crumbs, drained cherries and mix gently.
Impregnate the biscuit blank and the “lid” with cherry syrup, fill the base with cream and cover with it.
For the glaze, melt the butter, add sugar and cocoa powder, add milk and simmer, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Pour the finished cake with cooled icing and refrigerate for several hours.
On a side note
Use fresh cherries in summer and frozen or canned in winter.
Butter cream can be replaced with a lighter one, beating heavy cream with powdered sugar and mascarpone.
The surface of the cake can be sprinkled with confectionery sprinkles or decorated with mastic figurines.
