Cocoa and coffee deepen the sponge without making it heavy, while sour cherries and kirsch cut through the richness of the cream. Chilling lets the syrup settle into the cake and gives the layers a clean, stable slice.
Refrigerate the assembled cake, loosely covered, for up to 3 days. Keep it chilled until serving because the whipped-cream filling is perishable.
Do not reheat. Serve cold or let individual slices stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
