Then feel free to get to work, and you will not lose - a delicious cherry pie will like it, do not hesitate, everyone without exception. But first decide on what recipe you have to bake.
Dessert Features
It is worth noting immediately that any cherry pie "Enjoyment" always consists of three layers.
The first layer is the dough. It can be completely different. Do you like friable? Make a shortbread cake. A sponge base is considered more tender and melting in the mouth. Cherry pie made from puff pastry is also baked. When using multiple layers, you will get crispy pastries. In any case, the bottom layer of the product should be made of dough. The most convenient cooking option is a rolled circle laid on a baking sheet or bowl so that there are sides. They will help to keep in shape when filling the "inside" of the cake with cream and cherry.
The second layer is cream. It should be thick in consistency, sweet in taste and creamy in composition. Therefore, the main component is usually Mascarpone cheese or similar Omichka and Fun. If you don’t have these products, try making Pleasure Cherry Pie with a thick custard boiled in fat milk and mixed with whipped cottage cheese and butter.
The third layer is cherries. It is hard to imagine such a cake without sour berries. They can be fresh or canned, but observe the prerequisite - the absence of seeds. Sometimes cherries are laid immediately on the dough, and on top are covered with cream. The taste of this, in principle, does not change.
How to make cherry cake "Enjoyment" with shortcrust pastry
- One and a half cups of flour, mixed with half a teaspoon of salt, chop with a knife with softened margarine (120 grams) until a smooth crumbly mass.
- After making a depression in the middle, pour ¼ cup of cold water and knead the smooth dough. It must be wrapped in cling film and placed in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours.
- Prepare the filling so that it can cool. Free 600 seeds of fresh cherries and put them in a colander to collect the flowing juice. Mix the resulting liquid with 1.5 tablespoons of starch and one hundred grams of sugar. Put the mass on a slow fire and bring to a boil. Pour fresh cherries into the mixture and mix. The prepared filling is laid out on the cake only in a completely cooled form.
- Take care of the cream, which also must be chilled before smearing the cake. Whip 250 grams of cream of 33-35% fat with 150 grams of sugar and 250 grams of Mascarpone cheese.
- From the chilled dough, roll out a circle with a diameter slightly larger than the shape so that there is a margin for the sides, cut off the excess if necessary. Bake the cake in the oven at an average temperature of 15 minutes.
- After cooling completely, put the cream on a sand base, and then the cherry mass. After cooling for one hour, the amazing cake is ready! Enjoy your health!
