Directions

  1. Combine milk and eggs in a blender, pulse until well mixed. Add flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, and salt, pulse until batter is well blended. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if batter appears too thick.

  2. Heat a lightly oiled griddle over medium-high heat. Drop 1/3 cup batter onto the griddle and cook until bubbles form and the edges are dry, 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until browned on the other side, 2 to 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter until you have at least 6 pancakes. Transfer pancakes to a wire rack to cool.

  3. Mix cherry puree and vodka together in a bowl.

  4. Brush 1 pancake with cherry puree mixture and pipe whipped cream on the edge of the pancake, top with another pancake. Repeat until all the pancakes, cherry puree mixture, and whipped cream are used. Top with sweet cherries and chocolate shavings. Cut cake using a serrated knife.
