Another vision of the black forest presented in the form of a glass dessert to conclude a cocktail party dinner for example.

Ingredients for 8 servings

cake:

4 eggs
200 g sugar
160 g sifted flour
1 tbsp baking powder (chemical yeast)
1 tbsp bitter cocoa powder style van Houten.

filling:

6 dl cream with 30% fat
1 tbsp bitter cocoa powder.
1 jar of pitted cherries (+- 500 gr)
100 g dark chocolate
3 tbsp sugar.
100 g powdered sugar.
8 tbsp kirsch or 8 tbsp cherry juice.
a few chocolate shavings for decoration
(4 squares of dark chocolate)

Step-by-step directions

Preheat the oven to 180°
In the meantime prepare the cake batter.
Gather all ingredients at the same temperature except fresh cream.
Separate the egg whites from the yolks and beat the whites until stiff peaks form. Beat the yolks with the sugar until a whitened mousse is obtained.
Add the mixture of flour and baking powder all sifted.
And finish with the stiff egg whites.
Butter and flour a mold of approximately 25 cm in diameter.
Bake for 40 minutes at 180°.
In the meantime, drain the cherries and keep the juice it can serve you if you serve this dessert to children or simply for those who don't like kirsch.
In a dish that you have kept in the fridge pour 500ml of cream and add 80 gr of powdered sugar and the tbsp of cocoa.
Whip the cream into whipped cream and there you have your ultra light chocolate mousse (not in calories lol). Do the same with the rest of the cream and the 20 gr of powdered sugar and keep cool.
Check the cake is cooked by pricking a knife blade in the middle of the cake it should come out dry.
Unmold and let cool.
Assembly: 2 options 1. as a cake, 2. in a glass.
Cake:
Cut it in 2 in the direction of the height to have 3 discs. Soak the discs with the kirsch diluted in a little water or with the cherry juice.
Place a first disc on a turntable and in a ring.
Put half of the chocolate mousse and half of the cherries.
Cover with a second disc and repeat the operation, place the last disc on top garnish with plain whipped cream, on top and around the edges, place everything in the fridge.
In the meantime melt the chocolate squares in a water bath and spread on a very clean work surface. When it is set use a knife to scrape to make shavings. Put them on top and around the cake.
Make a few rosettes of cream and place a cherry on them.
Keep cool until ready to serve.
