Might take a little longer than normal to make the cake…but it’s worth it. Be patient!

Method

  1. Gently heat the cherries and kirsch in a small pan over a low heat until hot. Turn off the heat; cover the pan with lid or a saucer. Allow to cool. The cherries will absorb the liquid. Stir occasionally. Mash a little or whiz with stick blender, you don't want it to be too smooth.
  2. Butter and base line only a 20cm springform tin. Dust with cocoa, tip out any excess and reserve. Melt the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Don't let the water touch the bottom of the bowl. When fully melted and smooth..allow to cool a little…then stir in the cherries.
  3. Whisk the sugars and 2 whole eggs and 2 yolks until pale, thick and double in volume. Stick blenders are so good. Fold the chocolate mixture and the vanilla into the egg. Sift over the almonds, flour and any remaining cocoa…fold well.
  4. In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Spoon 2 tablespoons of egg whites into the main bowl to loosen. Then the remaining egg white. Work quickly and well until everything is well combined.
  5. Spoon into the prepared tin and bake for 20-25 minutes or until a light crust has formed.
  6. Allow to cool in the tin. It will sink and crack as it cools. Remove from the tin and dust with a little cocoa before serving.
