Method
Prepare the Cake
- Preheat the oven to 350?F (175?C). Grease and flour a cake pan.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.
- Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and bake for 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Prepare the Ganache
- In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer.
- Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips. Stir until smooth and glossy.
Assemble the Cake
- Once the cake is completely cool, slice it in half horizontally.
- Spread the cherry filling on the bottom layer of the cake.
- Place the top layer back on and pour the chocolate ganache over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides.
- Let the ganache set for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
