I followed the recipe exactly, but my dessert didn't turn out quite as well as I hoped. The chocolate cake was a bit dry, and the whipped cream was too stiff. I think I might have overmixed the batter.

This dessert was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with less sugar. Other than that, it was very good.

I'm allergic to cherries, so I substituted raspberries instead. It was still delicious! The combination of chocolate and raspberries was divine.
