Chocolate-covered drunk cherry cake

The first thing we will do is prepare a biscuit (preferably the day before the cake is assembled): - we divide the eggs into proteins and yolks; - we rub yolks with finished sugar (whisk); - beat the proteins using a mixer to strong peaks; - we introduce some of the proteins into the yolks, mix carefully; - sieve flour, baking powder and cocoa into the resulting mass (not all at once, but in small portions so that you can knead the dough with high quality); - mix very carefully, not in sharp movements, until homogeneous consistency; - we interfere with the other proteins in the dough; - form (detachable) with parchment and pouring dough into it (designed for a form with a diameter of 24-26 cm); - bake the biscuit at a temperature of 180 degrees for 45-50 minutes. We remove the finished biscuit from the mold and leave it completely alone for 7-8 hours (I wrap the still warm biscuit in cling film, so it does not dry out, retains the desired humidity and crumbles less). Next, "intoxicate" the cherries, putting them in a bowl and a bay of rum. While cherries "drink, " we will make cream. Using a mixer, pour the butter and condensed milk into a lush, homogeneous mass. We cut the biscuit into 3 equal parts (I do this with a long bread knife - convenient). We grease each cake with cream and put "drunk" cherries on top of it, thus collecting the entire cake (we do not grease the surface with anything yet). Let's make chocolate glaze. To do this, melt the chocolate in the microwave, add softened butter, slightly warmed cream and sugar to it, we will turn all this with the help of a whisk into a shiny, smooth, homogeneous mass. We cover the cake with glaze, preferably twice, waiting for the first layer to grab a little. And finally, we decorate the masterpiece. Melt some of the white chocolate, put it in a pastry bag and draw a thin web. We lay out cocktail cherries on top, supplement with shavings of white chocolate. Let the cake soak (2-3 hours) and serve on the table. We try and enjoy!
