Steps:
- Stir 1/4 cup of the sugar together with the cornstarch in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- Crack the eggs into a medium heat-proof bowl. Whisk the eggs together and and set the bowl next to the stove.
- Combine the milk and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in a small saucepan set over medium heat and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Once the milk has come to a simmer, whisk the sugar-cornstarch mixture into the eggs until smooth.
- Whisking the eggs constantly, add a scant 1/4 cup of the hot milk to the eggs. Still whisking constantly, pour the remaining milk into the eggs in a slow stream.
- Return the mixture to the saucepan and set pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring constantly with a rubber spatula, until the mixture thickens a bit-it will start to get lumpy.
- Turn the heat to low and switch to stirring with a whisk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is very thick and smooth-if you don't get your pudding completely smooth, you'll have lumps in your frosting.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Scrape the pudding into a shallow mixing bowl and press plastic wrap directly on the top of the pudding. Chill in the fridge for 90 minutes to 2 hours (or until thoroughly chilled). You'll finish the frosting later. While the pudding is chilling, make the cake.
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with cooking spray and set aside.
- Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt together in a small mixing bowl and set aside.
- Beat the butter in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer set to medium until very smooth. Beat in the sugar and vanilla until well combined (mixture will be crumbly). Add the egg whites one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- With mixer on low, beat in half of the flour mixture followed by half of the buttermilk and beat to combine. Add the remaining flour mixture, then the remaining buttermilk and beat until just incorporated.
- Spread three-quarters of the batter into the prepared pan. Sift the cocoa powder over the remaining batter and add the milk; stir until fully combined.
- Dollop the chocolate batter over the vanilla batter and carefully spread into an even layer with an offset spatula (don't swirl them together, just spread the chocolate batter over the vanilla). Sprinkle the drained cherries over the cake batter.
- Bake 35 to 40 minutes, until a cake tester inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
- Remove cake from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack before adding the frosting.
- Once the pudding and the cake are both cooled, finish the buttercream. Remove the chilled pudding from the fridge and allow it to come to room temperature.
- Transfer the room temp pudding to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat on medium for several minutes, until it's very light and creamy.
- With mixer still on medium speed, add the butter half a tablespoon at a time, stopping mixer to scrape with a rubber spatula every so often.
- Once the butter is fully incorporated, add the powdered sugar, vanilla, and salt, and beat until smooth. Spread over the fully cooled cake. Refrigerate for 1 hour to set the buttercream before adding the chocolate topping.
- Place the chocolate in a small heat-proof bowl. Heat the cream in a medium saucepan set over medium heat until it just begins to steam. Pour over the chocolate and allow to sit for 3 minutes.
- Add the corn syrup, then whisk the chocolate and heavy cream together until the chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth. Allow to cool for 10 minutes.
- Remove cake from the fridge and spread the chocolate into an even layer over the buttercream. Refrigerate to set the ganache, then serve.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together and add eggs, one at a time, beating well; add vanilla. Add the flour mixed with baking powder and mix. Beat in enough milk to make the dough spreadable (brownie batter consistency). Pour half the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking pan.
- 2. Mix the other half with the cocoa powder and about 1 Tbsp. milk so that the batter stays the same consistency. Smooth over the top of white batter. Swirl a bit for a wavy effect.
- 3. Drop the drained, pitted cherries evenly over the top of the batter. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 35 minutes. Cool completely in the pan.
- 4. While the cake is cooling, start the pudding according to package directions, using two cups of milk. Cover the pan and let the pudding cool completely to room temperature.
- 5. Beat the softened butter with the powdered sugar until light and fluffy. The pudding and the butter must be the same temperature or the emulsion you are creating will not work.
- 6. Mix the pudding by the spoonful into the butter mixture and whip until light and fluffy. Spread over the cooled cake.
- 7. Melt the chocolate on the stove. Mix it with the powdered sugar and add hot water to create a spreadable frosting. Spread on top of the butter cream. Refrigerate cake until ready to serve.
- 8. Cut with a wet knife and wipe off between cuts.

Steps:
- To start the German buttercream: In a large saucepan or small pot beat the egg yolks together, then slowly add the milk beating until smooth. Add the sugar and cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
- Heat the pan over medium heat, whisking constantly until the mixture is very thick and easily coats the back of a spoon and/or reaches a temperature of 180°F/80°C with an instant read thermometer, about 10 to 15 minutes total.
- Remove from the heat, whisk in vanilla until smooth, then use a rubber spatula to scrape the pastry cream mixture into a bowl. It will cool faster if it's spread out in a wider bowl or container. Press a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface of the custard so it doesn't form a skin. Cool it to room temperature. (You can do this step up to 2 days in advance and refrigerate it until needed. In that case, bring it back to room temperature before using.)
- To make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C with the rack in the lower third of the oven. Line a 9-by-13-inch (24-by-32-cm) rectangular cake pan with parchment paper with some overhang around the sides to help you lift the cake out of the pan after assembling. Lightly grease the parchment.
- Combine the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl and set aside.
- Add the butter and sugar to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat on medium speed until light and fluffy (about 2 to 3 minutes). Add the eggs, one at a time, beating between additions until smooth. Scrape down the sides and beat in the vanilla.
- Add the flour mixture in 2 additions and beat just until combined.
- Evenly spread about ⅔ of the cake batter into the prepared pan.
- Sift the cocoa powder into the remaining batter and add the milk. Mix until just combined, then carefully spread it over the top of the light-colored batter. The best way to do this is to dollop spoonfuls of chocolate batter over the vanilla layer and then carefully spread the batter until the chocolate layer is even. Do not swirl them together!
- Evenly distribute the drained sour cherries over the batter. Bake for 28 to 32 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Leave the cake in the pan but cool it completely before decorating, about 1 to 1 ½ hours.
- To finish the German buttercream: The pastry cream and butter should both be at room temperature before proceeding with this next step. Add the butter to the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and beat until very light and creamy (about 2 minutes).
- With the mixer running on medium speed, add the pastry cream a little at a time until completely combined. Scrape down the sides and then continue beating for another minute to ensure it's smooth and creamy.
- Spread the buttercream on top of the cooled cake, and cover with plastic wrap directly in contact with the buttercream. Chill the frosted cake for at least 1 hour or overnight.
- To make the chocolate ganache: Add the chopped chocolate to a medium mixing bowl. Then heat the cream in a small saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming but not quite boiling. Pour the cream over the chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes, then gently stir together until smooth.
- To assemble the Donauwelle: Remove the plastic wrap from the cake and pour the ganache over the top. Instead of spreading it with a spatula, carefully tilt the cake from side to side as needed to ensure even coverage. Allow it to cool for about 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature, and if the cake was already relatively cold it shouldn't take long for the ganache to start to thicken and set. (To test how much it has set, poke the ganache in one of the corners with the tip of a fork or knife to see if it leaves a clear impression. If it's still too soft, your waves will look messy.)
- Once it has set enough, if desired, use a fork or a pastry comb to lightly drag over the top and create a wavy pattern.
- Cool the cake completely in the fridge for about 30 to 45 minutes to allow the ganache to fully set.
- Use the parchment paper overhang to carefully lift the cake out of the pan and set it on a large cutting board. Peel down the 4 sides of parchment paper to expose the edges of the cake. Cut into 15 rectangular slices (into thirds lengthwise and fifths crosswise). You may also cut the cake into smaller pieces if you prefer.
- Refrigerate leftover cake slices for up to 3 days, but bring them back to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

- Add pitted sour cherries to a bowl along with sugar, Kirsch (optional), and cornstarch. Stir to combine and set aside until needed. If you are using sour cherries from the jar, you can leave this step out, just make sure to drain the cherries well before using.
- Prepare a baking pan approx (25 cm x 30 cm and 5 cm high OR 9-inch x 13-inch x 2-inch high). Line with parchment paper and grease on all sides. In a small bowl, stir to combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. In a large bowl, cream the softened butter with the sugar, and vanilla paste until pale, fluffy, and creamy, for about 5 minutes on high speed using an electric mixer or stand mixer. Gradually add the eggs. Add the next egg once the previous one is completely incorporated. Add the flour mixture and mix it in quickly, using an electric mixer or stand mixer. Don't overbeat the mixture.
- Pour half of the prepared cake batter into the prepared baking pan. Spread evenly using a spatula. Fold the unsweetened cacao powder into the rest of the cake batter to get an even brown cake batter. Pour the brown cake batter over the cake batter in the pan. Spread evenly using a spatula. Arrange the drained sour cherries on top. Place in the preheated oven on the middle rack. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes at 180 °C / 350 °F or until it is fluffy, yet firm when tested with your fingers. Remove the baked cake batter from the oven and set aside to cool.
- While the cake is baking, make the pastry cream (click for the recipe). Make half of the pastry cream. You can make this step one day ahead and keep it chilled (covered with cling film) in the fridge until needed, but at least for one hour. Ten minutes before using, bring to room temperature. Add softened butter to a bowl. Cream the butter using an electric mixer. Mix for about 5 - 8 minutes or until creamy, fluffy and smooth. Working in batches of three, incorporated the creamed butter into the pastry cream. When all of the butter is incorporated, continue to mix for 3 - 4 minutes or until the cream is smooth and creamy. Spread the buttercream evenly over the chilled cake using a spatula. Place in the fridge for at least one hour or overnight.
