Step-by-step method

Let’s cook

At a glance

You're making a wonderfully juicy cherry cake by whisking eggs and cream into a light batter, then carefully folding in whipped egg whites to keep everything airy. The tricky part is gently folding the whites without deflating them, and the cherries will sink into the batter as it bakes to golden perfection over about an hour.

Preheat the oven and prepare the tin

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a round cake tin with fairly high sides, about 26 cm in diameter, with butter.

Whisk the egg yolk mixture

Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until you get a light yellow, creamy foam. Add a pinch of salt, the vanilla extract and the cream, then mix again. Add the flour and stir it in.

Fold everything together gently

Fold the whipped egg whites into the egg yolk mixture, very gently, so the whites don't lose too much volume.

Scatter over the cherries

Pour the batter into the buttered tin and scatter the cherries over the top. They'll sink nicely into the batter, then the cake is ready to go into the oven.
