Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
Step 2
In a large bowl, mix together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3
Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
Step 4
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pans and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 5
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 6
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the chocolate ganache by heating the heavy cream, sugar, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Let it cool slightly.
Step 7
Once the cakes are cool, spread a layer of ganache on the bottom layer. Add half of the fresh cherries and place the second layer on top.
Step 8
Cover the cake with the remaining ganache and top with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.
Step 9
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving.
