Allow to cool completely, then cut in half horizontally.
3rd step
Pour the cream into a bowl, add the cream stiffener and vanilla sugar while stirring. Slowly beat the cream until stiff.
Fold the chocolate shavings into the whipped cream and then refrigerate.

Spread the base with 4 tablespoons of cream and spread the cherries on top. Spread 2/3 of the remaining cream on the cherries in a dome shape.

2. Place the chocolate sponge cake on top and press down slightly on the edge. Spread the remaining cream on the sponge cake.
Cool the cake for 1 hour, then put it in the oven for 20 minutes. Put in the freezer compartment.
