Mix the flour with the cornstarch, cocoa and chemical yeast. Sift and reserve. In a clean, dry bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer at medium speed with a pinch of salt and when they foam, start adding sugar B (80g) gradually. Beat until stiff and reserve.
Separately, in another bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar A (40g) and vanilla for about 3 minutes.
Add the egg whites little by little and stir gently with a silicone spatula. Add the flour in the form of rain and stir gently.
Divide the mixture between two 18cm molds previously greased and lined with parchment paper. Bake at 175ºC for about 20 minutes.
Remove from the oven, unmold on a wire rack and let cool completely. Cherries for the filling 300g cherries 20ml Kirsch 50g brown sugar

Put the second layer of cake on top and repeat the previous steps until the cake is complete. Cover with the last layer and leave to cool for 30 minutes in the fridge.
