Preheat the oven to 180°C / 350°F / Gas Mark 4. Line a baking tray with parchment or butter paper.

Now take 3 egg whites in a mixing bowl and start beating. Beat till it gets peak form.

Now add sugar spoonful at a time and start beating till it gets stiff and if you invert the bowl over your head it shouldn’t fall off.

Now add vanilla and sieve your cocoa in.Fold gently.

Now add the chopped chocolate and fold well.

Pour this mixture over the baking tray and smoothen the top.

Put it in the oven and immediately lower the temperature to 150°C / 300°F/ Gas Mark 2.

Bake it for 40-45 mins untill the top is kind of stiff and crisp. Open the oven door little and let it cool there completely.

Now peel away the parchment and let it cool down completely before decorating further.

Put this over a cake stand and top it with whipped cream, cherries and chocolate shards.

Put it in the fridge and serve cold.
