Number Of Ingredients 9

13 tablespoons butter, plus more for pan
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar, plus more for pan
6 1/2 ounces bittersweet chocolate
4 large eggs, 3 separated, 1 whole
3 large egg whites
Pinch of salt
3/4 pound fresh Bing cherries, or frozen
7 tablespoons kirsch, or to taste
1 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 300 degrees. Butter and sugar an 8-inch springform pan, and set aside.
  • Chop chocolate into small pieces, and place in a double boiler or heatproof bowl with the butter. Place over a pan of barely simmering water, and stir occasionally until completely melted. Remove from heat, and set aside.
  • Place 3 yolks, whole egg, salt, and 2/3 cup sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Beat on medium high until thick and pale yellow, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl.
  • Wash mixer bowl and whisk; add the 6 egg whites and 1/3 cup sugar to the clean bowl. Whisk until mixture is stiff and shiny, about 4 minutes.
  • Pour chocolate mixture into the egg-yolk mixture, and fold together. Gently fold in egg-white mixture until just combined. Pour into prepared pan, and bake until cake has risen quite high and top has begun to crack, about 1 hour 10 minutes. The center of cake should be set but not at all dry. Allow to cool completely on rack, then remove sides of pan.
  • Cut each cherry in half by running the tip of a paring knife around each, starting at the stem. Gently twist cherries to separate halves, and carefully remove pits. Place cherries and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar in medium skillet set over medium heat. Cook until sugar is dissolved and cherries release their juice, about 5 minutes. Remove pan from heat, add kirsch, and transfer carefully back to heat. Allow to cook until liquid is slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  • In a medium bowl, whip cream to soft peaks. Serve chocolate cake with warm cherry mixture and a dollop of whipped cream.
