Divide batter between prepared pans and smooth the tops.

Bake for 25-30 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.

Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks.

Once cool, slice each cake in half horizontally to create layers.

Soak each layer with Kirsch and set aside.

Whip heavy cream with sugar and vanilla until soft peaks form.

Spread whipped cream on the first layer, add cherries, and top with another layer.

Repeat the process for remaining layers, finishing with whipped cream on top.

Decorate with chocolate shavings and curls.

Chill the cake for at least 1 hour before serving.
