When you make it you might want to guard it well or McFluff will be after you!

This is about as authentic as it gets. The sponge should be fatless, that is whisk eggs and sugar until creamy (best off using a food mixer unless you have a very strong non-tiring arm. Bottled sour cherries I get from a deli, tinned cherries in syrup are too sweet. And Kirsch should be used, not cherry brandy.

whats the difference between cherry brandy and kirsch?

Kirsch is made from the distillation of morellos, a dark, very sour cherry found in the Black Forest region of Germany. The cherries are fermented whole, rather than being pitted. Kirsch is aged in an ash barrel, or not aged at all, which is what gives the drink its clear complexion. Brandy is usually a grape based spirit with added fermented flavours and is red in colour.
