Instructions

  6. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
  9. In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until soft peaks form.
  10. Place one cake layer on a serving platter. Spread a layer of whipped cream on top and drizzle with chocolate syrup. Sprinkle chopped nuts.
  11. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the layers with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and nuts.
  12. Top with dollops of whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and maraschino cherries for decoration.
