Cream the softened butter/margarine with the sugar and vanilla until the mixture is fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add one egg at a time and beat with a blender until smooth.
Dissolve the coffee in 2 tablespoons of boiling water and add to a bowl, then add the previously mixed dry ingredients mixture: cocoa, flour, and baking powder.
Beat with a blender until smooth.
Take a 30 x 20 cm baking dish and lightly oil or line it with parchment paper.
Place the dough into the mold, sprinkle with the strained cherries and gently press into the dough with your fingers.
Bake in a preheated 180 °C oven for about 20-25 minutes. Check doneness with a toothpick.
To make the frosting:
Heat the cream and add the chopped chocolate. Let sit for a minute, then stir thoroughly until the chocolate melts and forms a smooth chocolate glaze.
Drizzle the frosting over the cake. Place the cake in the refrigerator and allow the glaze to harden.
Cut the cake. Whip the buttercream, decorate each cake square with buttercream, place a cherry on top of the whip cream, and sprinkle with chocolate chips if desired.

Ingredients
Fruit mixture
1 cup dried cherries
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1 ⁄ 2 cup candied orange peel, finely chopped
1 ⁄ 2 cup candied lemon zest, finely chopped
1 ⁄ 2 glass dark rum or brandy (for infusion).
Pie crust
1 cup softened unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
4 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
2 cups medium-gluten flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 ⁄ 2 tsp baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1 ⁄ 2 tsp nutmeg powder
1/4 cloves
1 ⁄ 2 tsp salt
1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
1 lemon peel
1 orange peel
Preparation method
Prepare the fruit mixture:
In a medium bowl, add dried cherries, raisins, prunes, candied orange zest, and candied lemon zest.
Pour the rum or brandy over the fruit, stir well and cover. Allow fruit to marinate for at least 4 hours or overnight to maximize flavor.
Prepare the pie crust:
Preheat oven to 325 ° F (165 °C). Oil and line a loaf pan or 8-inch disc with paper towels.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one by one, beating well after each addition. Add vanilla extract and lemon zest and mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, powdered cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and salt until well combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until well combined.
Mix the fruits and nuts:
Pour the soaked fruit mixture (including all liquid sauces) and chopped nuts into the batter. Mix until smooth.
To bake the cake:
Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the surface.
Bake for 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes, or until removed clean by inserting a stick into the center of the cake.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then remove to a grid rack to cool.
Optional frosting (to make the cake surface shiny):
Brush the cake with more rum or brandy. Wrap the cake tightly in plastic wrap and let it rest for a day or two to deepen the flavor of the cake.
