Julia's Glutenfree Cherry-Choc

​Last december we hosted a Xmas Brunch and some of the guest brought cakes. Julia, a colleague of mine, brought an AWESOME chocolate cherry cake... and it was glutenfree!
I asked her if it was possible to get her recipe and share them with you, and she said YES! This recipe is so easy to do and it is delicious... and the longer you wait to eat it, the best it tastes... just like lasagna.

Ingredients:

350 gr Sour Cherries  from a Jar or 500 g Fresh Cherries without pits
150 g soft Butter
150 g Sugar
4 Eggs
100 g Dark Chocolate, grated
200 g ground Hazelnuts or Almonds
Powdered sugar

Wash the cherries and dry them. Mix the butter and sugar until is soft and homogeneous. 

Separate the egg yolks from the whites and beat the whites until stiff peaks form.
Add the egg yolks, chocolate and nuts to the butter mix and then incorporate slowly the egg whites. 

A small trick from my grandma: Add 2 full spoons of egg whites and stir thoroughly, then add the rest and beat slowly to add some air to it. This will keep your mix fluffy.

Warm the oven to 180 degrees. Add the cherries to the cake dough. Butter the cake form and fill with the cake dough. And bake for about 30 minutes. Let it cool and sprinkle with Powdered sugar.

Cut, serve and enjoy!
