Procedure:

1. Buy a chocolate cake. It is easily available as eggless too. Cut it into 3 layers. Now, you need to make the sugar syrup to soak the cake in it. Take a vessel and add water and sugar into it. Stir the sugar continuously, until it dissolves into the water.

2. To add flavour, you can add any liquor like brandy, rum, etc. Let it boil and turn off the stove. Let the sugar syrup come to room temperature. Now, take a big vessel and start beating the whipped cream. Beat it until it becomes frothy and fluffy.

3. Take a cake stand and place one cake layer on it. Now, add sugar syrup on it and also layer it with whipped cream.

4. Make thick layers of the cream on the cake layers and spread well. Now, add cherries on the cake layer. You can also use whole cherries or cut those into halves.

5. Place the second layer and repeat the entire layering process again. Do the same with the third and top layer. Then, cover the entire cake with cream and level it smoothly. Make chocolate curls from the chocolate bar and decorate the cake with the curls and garnish the cake with cherries.
