Preparation Steps
1
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
2
Add the eggs, then gradually pour in the milk, whisking continuously until you have a smooth, lump-free batter.
3
Stir in a tablespoon of oil into the batter to prevent sticking during cooking. Let the batter rest for 15-20 minutes.
4
Heat a lightly oiled pancake griddle or frying pan over medium heat. Pour a ladleful of batter onto the hot surface, spreading it out in a circular motion.
5
Cook the pancake for 1-2 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown, then flip and cook for another 30-40 seconds.
6
Repeat the process until all the batter is used. Keep the cooked pancakes warm under a clean kitchen towel.
7
In a small saucepan, heat the canned cherries and cherry juice. Stir in the gelatin and let it simmer gently to thicken slightly.
8
Whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
9
Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water (double boiler). Set aside to cool slightly.
10
Layer the pancakes: one pancake, a layer of cherry filling, then a layer of whipped cream. Repeat until all the ingredients are used.
11
Drizzle the melted chocolate over the layered pancakes and garnish with fresh cherries.
