Scatter over remaining cherries (halved) and press down lightly. Pour into the tin and smooth the surface. Gently fold through flour, cherries and chocolate chips (if using), stirring till just combined. Drain the cherries, setting a few (okay, 10) aside for decoration.

That was when I decided it was time for an intervention – a one-bowl solution. Sigh It all tastes very good in the end, but I’m not convinced one should suffer that kind of trauma just to enjoy cake. There are all kinds of slippery, slide-y ingredients, and well, they slip and they slide. But it’s the layering of cake with kirsch, cherries and cream where I seem to come unstuck. Baking the cake’s not so hard, and I seem to have found a method for splitting it into layers. There are several steps, each of which could spell disaster.
