This melt-in-the-mouth cake is sure to make your heart melt! Indeed, with a rich buttery-chocolaty flavour and an awesomely fluffy texture, the cake is a delight, which is made all the more delightful by the layers of buttercream.

Canned cherries are the perfect garnish for this brilliant cake, as they not only taste great along with the cream and chocolate cake, but also look brilliant against the chocolate buttercream background.

This Chocolate Cake with Chocolate Butter Cream Icing, with Eggs, tends to get hard if kept in the fridge. So, if you are storing it in the fridge, take it out at least two hours before serving.
