Add the milk and softened butter at room temperature and continue to mix.
-
Pour the mixed batter into a 6-inch cake mold and tap it several times to release air bubbles.

Preheat the oven to 175 degrees and bake for about 30 to 40 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. After baking, let cool and set aside.

Cut the cherries in half, pour in the cherry wine, and let it sit for about 30 minutes. Remove the cherries and drain them, leaving the wine juice aside.

Add 30 grams of sugar to the heavy cream, whip, and refrigerate until ready.

Cut the cake into three slices of even thickness.

Take a piece of cake base, brush it with cream, put cherries on it, brush it with another layer of cream, and cover it with a piece of cake.

Use the same method to stack the three cake slices together.

Brush the outside with a layer of buttercream.

Break the chocolate into pieces, heat over water and melt, stirring properly.

After it cools down and becomes solid, use a planer to cut it into small crumbs.

Take a flower-shaped piping tip and fill the piping bag with cream.
