The iconic Drunken Cherry cake: how to make a festive dessert for the whole family

"Drunken Cherry is a delicious holiday cake that every housewife knows about. Juicy berries are perfectly combined with fluffy sponge cake and delicate cream. The dessert just melts in your mouth.

The idea of making a drunken cherry cake was published on the Instagram page of food blogger Angelina Zinkova (angelinazinkovaaa). Cherries can be soaked in alcohol or not.

Ingredients:

• eggs - 6 pcs.
• sugar - 1 cup
• a pinch of salt
• baking soda - 0.5 tsp (quenched with vinegar). You can use a teaspoon of baking powder.
• cocoa - 2 tbsp. with a slide
• flour - 1 cup
• condensed milk - 1 can
• butter - 250 g
• cherries - 400-500 g (soak overnight in alcohol or not - it's up to you)

Method of preparation:

1. Beat eggs with sugar for 10 minutes.

2. Add salt, baking soda slaked with vinegar, mix.

3. Next, add cocoa and flour in 2-3 batches (do not be afraid to mix the dough, it will not fall).

4. Bake at 170 degrees for 40-45 minutes.

5. The baked sponge cake returns to its shape when pressed, I check.

6. During baking, a rounded hat is formed, but in the end it falls a little and the surface of the sponge cake is flat - exactly what we need.

7. After the cake has cooled completely, cut off the top layer, remove the flesh, and leave the cake frame.

8. For the filling, combine soft butter with condensed milk, add the pulp, cherries, and a little juice from the cherries, and mix.

9. Pour the icing on top and leave for a few hours or overnight.
