Today i decided to make that cake. First i thought of using my microwave chocolate cake as the base, but then i thought of using a different recipe. So i came across this recipe. I took that recipe, halved it and baked into two small cakes. Because if i make a hige cake, i will eat it completely by myself which is not good for my waist. So made a small cake.

Add in the flour mix in and mix well. Add in vinegar and mix well.Batter done.
Now take a microwave safe bowl, line the base with parchment paper, brush the bottom and sides with oil.
Pour half of the batter in and place the bowl inside microwave for 2 mins. Once it is baked, remove it from oven and let it cool for 2 mins, invert it to the plate. Peel off the parchment paper.
Now bake another cake using the remaining cake batter like the same way. Let both the cakes cool completely.
Now make whipped cream, take whipping cream powder and ice water in a bowl, beat it till thick and stiff. You can use fresh whipping cream in place of whipping cream powder and beat it till thick. Set this in the fridge till use.
Now take the cherries in a mixer and blend till it is crushed. Set aside.
Make syrup, take sugar, water and vanilla in a bowl and mix well. Syrup done.
Now take chocolate bar and use a peeler to make chocolate curls and grate it to make chocolate grates.
Now take the cooled cake, slit it in half. Place the cake in a plate, use strips of parchment paper to surround the cake. Now Brush the cake with syrup generously.
Spread the cake with some whipped cream. Top with some of the crushed cherries.
Place another cake on top, brush the top with some of the syrup again, then whipped topping and cherry topping. Repeat this for the four layers.
Now spread whipped cream all over the cake, top with chocolate curls, use chocolate grates and spread on the sides of the cake.
Now chill this whole cake for 1 or 2 hours.
