Add the chocolate mixture and the yolks one by one. Gradually, add the flour and milk, and thoroughly mix. Whisk the egg whites and slowly add them too, using a spatula.

Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate cream: melt the chocolate, gradually add liquid cream and when they are deeply mixed, remove it from fire. Sprinkle the sugar powder while medium speed mixing, until the mixture gets foamy.
When the dough is cold, cut it in half and fill with the chocolate cream. If you don’t have a heart-shape tray, try shaping the cake with a metal frame or a special knife. Over the cream, add the cherries and the upper dough. The remaining chocolate cream goes to the top of it,
