Description
Perfect for serving with tea and coffee. A sponge cake layer is the base of almost any cake. Therefore, if you enjoy sweets and want to make them, you absolutely need to learn how to bake high-quality sponge cake. A cake can consist of several such layers, or you can make muffins by adding candied fruits, raisins, or nuts to the batter. Serve with tea or coffee.

Step 1
First, we need eggs, sugar, and lemon juice. Mix them in a bowl and beat with a mixer for a long time. Gradually add flour through a sieve, continuing to beat. You can add vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg to taste.

Step 2
Take a round mold (or any other shape you prefer). Grease it with a piece of butter or ghee (or margarine). Place the dough into the mold. Put it in a preheated oven at 180 degrees Celsius for about 15–20 minutes. Then remove and let it cool.

Now let's move on to the cherries. You can use frozen berries or canned ones taken from syrup. Jam will also work, but then you'll need fewer berries. Naturally, we use pitted cherries, without stones. Spread them over the cooled biscuit.

Step 4
Now prepare the cream. Pour the cream into a bowl and whip it with sugar. It's even better if you use powdered sugar—this will ensure the cream is nice and fluffy! Add mascarpone cheese to the cream. Whip once again, then start spreading the cream over the cherry layer.

Step 5
Final touch. Grate a chocolate bar finely—I used milk chocolate. Sprinkle the chocolate crumbs over the top of the cake. Decorate the center with cherries. That's it! You'll discover the unique flavor of this cake once you make it yourself!
