Method
- Sponge
Mix all ingredients on low speed for about 5 minutes using a flat beater. Spread the batter into a frame of about 30 × 40 cm. Bake at 180°C for about 35 minutes. Cool. Divide into two layers of equal thickness.
- Soaking syrup
Boil the water with the sugar. Cool. Add the cherry liqueur. Soak the first sponge layer with the syrup.
- Cream
Dissolve Zeesan thoroughly in the water. Whip the chilled cream and add it in portions, mixing gently until combined. Spread part of the cream (about 1200 g) evenly over the soaked sponge layer and press the second layer lightly on top. Soak the surface of the second layer with the syrup and spread the remaining cream (about 540 g) evenly over it. Chill.
- Ganache
Bring the cream to the boil, add Satina and combine thoroughly with a blender. Cool the ganache to about 38°C and cover the surface of the cake with it.
- Topping
Mix both ingredients together and sprinkle over the surface of the cake.
