For the dough (it can be prepared the day before), beat the sugar and eggs until frothy. Add margarine to the dough. Mix the flour and baking powder and sift over the mixture. Place half of the dough on a greased baking sheet or a lined baking sheet. Now fold in the cocoa powder into the rest of the dough and stir well, then pour onto the dough on the baking sheet. Drain the cherries well and spread them on the dough.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200 ° C for approx. 35 minutes until golden and allow to cool.
For the cream, beat the margarine and powdered sugar until frothy. Then add the cold pudding spoon by spoon and then spread it over the cold cake.
For the chocolate icing, mix powdered sugar and cocoa powder (use a dry, warm bowl). Now add the eggs and whisk well with a fork (!) Until the mixture is uniform (don`t give up, it takes a while and is laborious, but it works). Then add the milk and stir in well. Let the coconut fat get warm until it melts - but don`t let it get hot. Gradually add the melted fat to the mass and stir until a homogeneous mass is formed. Carefully distribute the mixture on the cake with a hot knife.
Note: I have stated the amount for the chocolate topping very generously, we like it a good chocolate - and if a lot of it remains, you can conjure up a cold dog of it.

Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
