 60 g Butter
 40 g Extra virgin oil
 5 g Cocoa
 2 tsp. Red gel food colour
 1 tsp. Soda
 1 tsp. Baking powder
 Sweetener as needed
 A pinch of salt
Ingredients for Cream
 700 g Culinary curd "Baltais"
 100 g Sweet cream (35%)
 Sweetener
 Vanilla
Ingredients for filling
 500 g Cherries
 15 g Corn starch
 150 g Water
 Sweetener
Ingredients for cherry jelly
 100 g Cherry juice
 40 g Water
 6 g Gelatin
 Sweetener
Directions
1

Bake sponge cakes
Combine/sieve all dry ingredients in one bowl.

2

Add the red colouring to the kefir and stir thoroughly. You can also use a blender to dissolve the colour better.

3

Start whisking the eggs at the lowest speed. Increase the speed and continue to whisk until they increase in volume. Gradually add the sweetener a spoonful at a time (without stopping the whisking) and whisk the mass into an airy foam.

4

Add the oil and soft butter. Whisk again. Add the kefir mixed with the red colour. Mix all.

5

Gradually add the dry ingredients, sifting them through a sieve. Stir in the flour with a spatula.

6

Pour the batter into the 2 tins, smooth and place in a preheated oven at 170 °C and bake the sponge cakes.

7

Cool the biscuits, cut off the 'caps' and cut them in half lengthwise. Crush the caps and use them to line the sides of the cake.

8

Preparation of the cream
Add the sweetener, vanilla sugar and sweet cream to the culinary curd and beat until smooth.

9

Preparation of cherry jam
Place the frozen cherries in a saucepan and heat. When the cherries start to release their juice, pour off 100 g of the juice and set aside. Cook the remaining berries with sweetener (can be blended with a blender if you don't want whole berries).

10

Add the cornstarch (15 g) mixed with water (150 g), stir and bring to the boil. Cool.

11

Assemble the cake
Place the first sponge cake on the base and surround it with a metal pastry ring lined inside with an acetate sheet.

12

Around the edge of the sponge cake, squeeze cream (150 g) from a pastry bag and put cherry jam (130 g) in the middle.

13

Place the other sponge cake on top, press down, squeeze the white cream in a circle around the edges and put 130 g cherry jam in the middle.

14

Place the third sponge on top and spread on it ~230 g of cream. Place the remaining cream in the fridge (this will be for the sides of the cake).

15

Cover the tin with cling film and leave in the fridge overnight.

16

In the morning
Spread the remaining cream over the sides and top of the cake. Cover the sides with sponge crumbs.

17

Swell 8 g gelatine with 40 g water and add to 100 g cherry juice. Pour it into a pastry bag (which can be placed in a jug/glass for convenience) and set it aside to allow the juice to begin to set.

18

When the juice has thickened, cut off the end of the pastry bag and, starting from the centre of the cake, spread the cherry juice over the cake in a circular motion, allowing a little to run down the sides. I decorated the top of the cake with cream roses.
