Sweet soft cherries soaked with rum essence and drowned in perfect smooth chocolate filling – this is a short description of what this cake is. It’s pure chocolate pleasure with a hint of rum aroma. Cake crust is made with dark cocoa powder, it is soft and just enough sweet.
I baked it for exactly 28 min and that was exactly enough time to get it done. What I did next was to let it cool down, then gently pressed it over the surface to completely even it out. I left baked cake crust unseparated from it’s mold over the round edge, because it must support upcoming ingredients.
When cake was almost completely cooled down to a room temperature and the surface flattened, I drizzled it with a couple of teaspoons of rum essence, then with some cherry juice (see in the ingredients section).
The cake got soaked with juices and was ready for the next step. I arranged the whole amount of cherries on top of the cake crust, then covered them with chocolate filling. I stroked the cake mold twice to a kitchen board but not too hard so that the filling can evenly spread between cherries. Then I flattened the top and placed it in the fridge.
