    Preparation Steps

    1

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and line a 9-inch (22 cm) cake pan with parchment paper.

    2

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, and baking powder.

    3

    In another bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time.

    4

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

    5

    Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool completely in the pan before frosting.

    6

    Once cooled, slice the cake horizontally into three even layers.

    7

    Drizzle each layer with cherry juice or liqueur. Spread whipped cream and cherries between each layer of cake.

    8

    Frost the top and sides of the cake with whipped cream. Decorate with cherries and dark chocolate shavings.

    9

    Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
