Cherry in the snow

When cutting this cake at the Xmas table, it will surely create a wonderful surprise for your guests or customers. And that's not only for the white and red contrast on the inside. This recipe combines the sweet taste of sun-ripened cherries with a light almond-flavoured chantilly cream. Add this to the base of chocolate sponge and dark chocolate ganache, and the oh's and ah's will rise up from the table.
