- Prepare the chocolate for the garnish (temper it or use vermicelli).
-
- Pour the creme into a cold bowl. Add sugar and vanilla, whip to medium
- soft peak, hard if desired. The inside should not be hard peak.
-
- Cut the cooled cake into thirds. Brush the bottom layer with syrup, cover
- with some creme and cherries. Add the second layer, repeat. Brush the
- third layer with syrup and place on top.
-
- Cover the cake with the remaining whipped cream and decorate with
