1 tsp baking powder
Pinch of salt

Cherries 🍒
Whipped cream
👩🍳 Method
1. Beat the eggs with the sugar and vanilla for 7–8 minutes until the mixture becomes pale and fluffy.
2. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt, then gradually add them to the mixture, folding gently.
3. Pour the batter into a 20–22 cm pan and bake at 180°C for 25–30 minutes.
4. Allow the cake to cool completely, then slice it into 3 layers.
5. Whip the cold cream with the powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
6. Place the first layer down, soak it with a little cherry juice, then add a layer of cream and cherries.
7. Repeat for the remaining layers, then cover the entire cake with the remaining cream.
8. Decorate with grated chocolate and cherries 🍒🍫.
9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving. ✨ The secret to the taste: Leave it in the fridge overnight; it will become wonderfully tender and rich in flavor!
