What I love about making this cake is how effortlessly it comes together, yet it never fails to impress with its elegant combination of flavors. The way the white chocolate adds a creamy sweetness that contrasts beautifully with the tartness of the sour cherries is simply divine.
Plus, the moist texture and the aroma that fills the kitchen while it bakes are just irresistible. It's a dessert that not only tastes amazing but also brings joy to those who indulge in it.
An easy-to-prepare cake!
The recipe traditionally uses sour cherries, which are tart and perfectly balance the sweetness of the chocolate. However, if sour cherries are hard to find, sweet black cherries are a great substitute. They add a fragrant sweetness to the cake, making it just as delicious.
This cake may not seem simple to make at first because of the melted white chocolate, but it's actually very easy to prepare. White chocolate, with its buttery texture and high fat, milk, and sugar content, melts quickly and easily. When greasy, it breaks easily and melts immediately in a double boiler.
STEP 1 - You need pitted sour cherries. Coarsely chop the white chocolate and cut the butter. Melt the chocolate in a bain-marie, then add the butter to melt.
STEP 2: Cream the eggs and sugar.
STEP 3: Gradually stir in the white chocolate mixture. Incorporate the flour and dark chocolate.
STEP 4: Pour the batter into the pan. Spread half of cherrie over the batter. Bake for 10 minutes.
STEP 5: Remove the pan from the oven, spread the other half of cherries over the cake. Continue to bake for 15-20 minutes
Whether you use sour cherries or sweet black cherries, this Cherry White Chocolate Cake is sure to impress. Its moist crumb, filled with chocolate and cherries, makes it disappear quickly from the plate. Perfect for family gatherings, special celebrations, or just as a treat for yourself, this cake highlights the delicious results of quality ingredients coming together.

150g white chocolate
200g butter
4 medium eggs

50g dark chocolate
300g fresh sour cherries, pitted
