Donauwelle Cake Slices
Jammy-fruity German layer cake that's baked in a sheet pan and sliced warm. A tangy-sweet maraschino and chocolate swirl on vanilla sponge that tastes much harder than it is.

Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°F. Line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment.
Step 2
Whisk eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Fold in flour, baking powder, and melted butter until just combined.
Step 3
Pour batter into pan, spread level. Drain cherries and scatter them evenly over the top.
Step 4
Dust cocoa powder over the cherries. Use a skewer to swirl cocoa and cherry juice into the batter, creating marbled veins.
Step 5
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 16–18 minutes.
Step 6
Cool 5 minutes in the pan, then slice and serve warm.
