Today I want to invite you to a delicate souffle with a subtle aroma of coffee. It can be crunchy or with juicy pieces of nuts inside. It all depends on your taste and desire. It is not as difficult as it seems.

A moist, rich chocolate cake, lots of bright, juicy cherries with a slight sourness, a layer of sweet, creamy ganache on white chocolate and all this is covered with chocolate icing!!! To say that it is delicious is not to say anything!!! We really liked this cupcake! I hope you will like it too!
