Method

Sponge

the calculation is for an 18cm (7.10 inch) baking mold.

  • Divide the eggs into whites and yolks.
  • Beat the egg whites with half the sugar and a pinch of salt until stiff peaks, and set aside.
  • Separately, combine the dry ingredients: sifted flour, starch, almond flour, coconut flakes.
  • Beat the yolks with the remaining sugar until light.
  • Add the beaten egg whites and the flour mixture alternately to the yolks, whisking gently so that the mass does not lose volume.
  • At the end, carefully pour in the melted butter.
  • Bake the sponge in the oven preheated to 356F (180C) for 30-40 minutes.

Coconut soaking

Combine all the ingredients, heat over the heat until the sugar is completely dissolved, and let cool.

Coconut cheesecake

  • Grease the mold with butter, cover the bottom with baking paper.
  • Combine the cream cheese with sugar, add the egg, and mix in the coconut milk.
  • Pour the mass into a mold, sprinkle with coconut flakes on top and bake for 50-60 minutes at 230-266F (110-130C). The middle of the cheesecake should be slightly shaking.
  • Let the cheesecake cool in the oven (don't take it out). Place the cooled cheesecake in the fridge for about 6 hours.

Cherry sauce

  • Combine the cherries with sugar and water in a saucepan; put on the heat, bring to a boil.
  • Pour in the starch dissolved in 30g (1.05 fl oz) of water.
  • Boil for 3 minutes. Remove from heat, add alcohol and let cool.

The cream

Mix the cheese, cream and powdered sugar together. Starting from the minimum mixer speed, beat everything for 3-5 minutes until fluffy, gradually increasing the speed.

Assemble the cake from the bottom up (better in a ring).

Follow such an order: sponge - the cream - cherry sauce - cheesecake - the cream - cherry sauce - sponge.

Be sure to leave some cream for coating.

Let the cake stabilize in the fridge for several hours or overnight.
