Based on Hidemi Sugino's Charme. The original recipe called for griottes (morello cherries soaked in kirsch), so I went out and got some. They were freaking expensive (almost $30 for 400grams, of which only about 220g was the actual cherries) - and awful in the cake! way too alcoholic. So i chopped up some, and mixed it up with chopped canned dark cherries.
Layers from bottom to top: chocolate biscuit joconde soaked with kirsch, dark chocolate chantilly cream, layer of cherries, milk chocolate chantilly cream, another layer of soaked chocolate biscuit joconde, then finally a layer of white chocolate chantilly cream. Topped with cocoa powder, chocolate shards and griottes dipped in chocolate.
