Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Grease and flour a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and baking powder. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and mix until well combined.

  4. Pour two-thirds of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.

  5. Mix the cocoa powder into the remaining batter, then carefully spread the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter in the baking dish.

  6. Arrange the sour cherries evenly on top of the chocolate batter.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the cake to cool completely.

  8. Once the cake has cooled, spread the custard or vanilla pudding over the top in an even layer.

  9. In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until it is steaming but not boiling. Remove from heat and stir in the chocolate chips until melted and smooth.

  10. Carefully spread the chocolate ganache over the custard layer. Allow the ganache to set for at least 1 hour before serving.
