Preparation time: 15 minutes
Baking time: 25-30 minutes
Total time: 45 minutes
Servings: 12

Necessary ingredients:
- 200 g flour
- 200 g sugar
- 200 g butter
- 50 g chocolate chips
- 4 eggs
- 50 g cocoa
- 125 g cherries (preferably sweetened)
- 1 packet baking powder
- 1 packet vanilla sugar
- A pinch of salt

Step by step:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Make sure you have all the ingredients at room temperature. It is important that the butter is melted and allowed to cool slightly, and the frozen cherries are thawed and well-drained to avoid excess water.

2. Preheating the oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C to ensure even heating. This step will help the cake bake evenly and achieve a perfect texture.

3. Mixing the eggs: In a large bowl, add the whole eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar, and a pinch of salt. Using a mixer, beat the ingredients on high speed until the mixture triples in volume and becomes frothy. This step is essential for achieving a fluffy cake.

4. Incorporating the butter: Gradually add the melted butter while continuously mixing on medium speed until it is completely incorporated into the egg mixture.

5. Mixing the dry ingredients: In another bowl, sift the flour, cocoa, and baking powder. This is an important step, as sifting the ingredients will help prevent lumps from forming.

6. The final combination: Start adding the flour mixture to the egg mixture, one spoonful at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid lumps. Continue adding the dry ingredients until you achieve a thick, homogeneous dough.

7. Preparing the baking pan: Line the bottom of a baking pan with parchment paper. This will make it easier to remove the cake after baking and prevent sticking.

8. Pouring the dough: Pour the dough into the pan and use a spatula to level it evenly.

9. Adding the cherries and chocolate chips: Sprinkle the chocolate chips over the dough, then add the cherries, which you can gently press to incorporate into the dough.

10. Baking: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Do the toothpick test: if it comes out clean, the cake is ready.

11. Cooling and serving: Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. You can serve the cake plain or with a portion of chocolate cream, ice cream, or whipped cream.
