Step 1

Preheat the oven to 180C.⠀

Step 2

Mix the sugar, eggs and softened butter until pale and fluffy, this will take 3-4min.⠀

Step 3

Sift the flour and cocoa powder into the same bowl. Add the milk, salt and baking powder and mix until combined. ⠀

Step 4

Get your baking tin ready (35x25cm) line it with parchment paper. Pour the cake mixture in and bake for approximately 20-22min at 180C. ⠀

Step 5

When the cake is baked, transfer the warm cake with the parchment paper to a cooling rack. Let it cool completely at room temperature before adding the mascarpone frosting in order to prevent it from melting.

Step 6

Once the cake is fully cooled, you can start making the frosting. Add the cold mascarpone in a large bowl and sift in the icing sugar and cocoa powder. Mix for 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Pour in the cold double cream, and mix until stiff peaks form, but making sure not to overmix.

Step 8

Spread over the room temperature cake and serve with pitted cherries on top. This cake works best served at room temperature. If you refrigerate it, take it out 10-15 minutes before serving.
