Cake
Description
The recipe won't take much time. I don't know about you, but personally, I love making these "homemade-style" recipes, including this simple "Amursky" cake. All the ingredients are easily available, and the recipe requires no special effort at all. Yet, how delicious this "Amursky" cake turns out to be at home—and how delighted everyone will be... Words can't describe it.

8. Generously spread the cream on all the sponge cake cubes and stack them on top of each other. Decorate with cherries and pour the glaze over the top (mix cocoa, cream, and a little of the wine in which the cherries were soaked, heat in the microwave for one to two minutes, then pour over the cake).
