One of the best ways to make a birthday cake is to start with the ingredients. Chocolate and cherry are a classic combination. Chocolate cherry cocoa powder gives the base of the cake its flavour. Instead of plain cocoa powder, you can use kirsch instead. Ground almonds add moisture to the cake and are a delicious addition. Cherries drop to the bottom of the cake during baking, and are used to decorate the top of the cake when you turn it out of the tin. The cherries will create a jammy-like topping inside the cake, which makes this cake even more delicious.

When preparing the cake, you may want to make the layers and frosting a day or two ahead of time. This way, you can finish decorating the cake the day before your guest arrives. Once the layers are done, transfer them to an airtight container or covered bowl. Place the frosting in the freezer and it will last up to two months. It will be great for birthday celebrations! You can even assemble the cake the day before.

To prepare the batter for the cake, set an electric mixer to medium or high. Add the gelatin and eggs one at a time. Stir well after each addition and let it sit for about five minutes before you pour it into the pan. Bake the cake for about 30 minutes before removing it from the pan. If you'd like, you can add a bit of milk if you don't want a stiff batter. Once cooled, it's best to refrigerate the cake.

Before baking the cake, prepare the pan by ensuring that it is well greased. If you are using a dark pan, you must set the temperature of the oven to 25degF lower. Mix the wet ingredients first. Then, add the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) and whisk the mixture until smooth and evenly distributed. Lastly, bake the cake as directed by the recipe.

You'll need a cake pan of about nine inches. You'll need three layers of cake, each about a quarter inch thick. Start by preparing your cake layers. Place the bottom layer on a serving plate. Spread about 1 cup of frosting on the bottom layer, making sure it's 14 to 12 inch thick. Place the second layer on top, and gently press it into place. Repeat the process with the remaining two layers.

To decorate your cake, use an angled spatula and smooth the frosting evenly. You can also use a toothpick to outline the design or write the words. To add some extra decoration, you can sprinkle confetti sprinkles or nonpareils on the cake or add shredded coconut. Once the cake is baked and frosted, place it in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to allow the frosting to set. You can also pipe some decorations on top.
