Cake Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a 28x28 cm (11x11 inches) baking dish with vegan butter and dust with flour.
- In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and a pinch of salt.
- Add the sunflower oil and soy milk to the dry ingredients and stir until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared baking dish.
- To the remaining batter, add the cocoa powder and rum, then mix until well combined. Pour the chocolate batter on top of the vanilla batter in the baking dish.
- Drain the sour cherries and spread them evenly over the chocolate batter.
- Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes. Allow to cool completely.
Cream Instructions
- Prepare the vanilla pudding according to package instructions using the soy milk and sugar. Let it cool completely. Tip: Cover the custard with plastic wrap so that the wrap touches the custard to prevent a skin from forming.
- In a bowl, whisk the vegan butter with a hand mixer until fluffy, about 10 minutes.
- Gradually add the cooled custard to the whipped butter, blending until smooth and fluffy.
- Spread the buttercream evenly over the cooled cake and refrigerate.
Topping Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate glaze according to the recipe.
- Allow the glaze to cool to room temperature, then spread it over the buttercream layer on the cake.
- Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
- Optional: Use a cake card or bread knife to create a wave design on the chocolate glaze before it sets.
