Turn finished cocoa sponge out onto a board sprinkled with sugar, remove baking paper and let cool. Drain the cherries and collect the juice.

Set aside 12 pcs cherries. Mix 6 tbsp. cherry juice and starch until smooth. Bring remaining juice to a boil with cherry brandy, stir in starch and bring to a boil while stirring.

Add cherries, boil again, let cool. Soak gelatine in cold water. Mix mascarpone, vanilla sugar and lemon zest.

Squeeze out gelatine and dissolve in a little warmed whipped cream and stir into the cream. Whip 200 g whipped cream until stiff, add sugar and fold into the cream.

Chill for approx. 20 minutes. Cut out 12 circles from the cocoa sponge cake using a dessert ring (8 cm). Place 6 cocoa sponge circles in 6 dessert rings, fill with cherry compote.
