    1. Preheat the oven to 340°F (170°C). 2. In a saucepan, whisk the cocoa into the water and bring to a boil over low heat. Cook, stirring now and then, for 10 minutes, until the chocolate mixture thickens. Let it cool. 3. Sift the flour and baking powder into a bowl. 4. In another bowl, beat the eggs, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Add the vegetable oil and beat again until smooth. Add the flour mixture a little at a time, pouring in the room-temperature milk as you go. Then add the thick cocoa mixture and stir into a batter. 5. Line a baking pan with parchment and pour in the batter. Bake the sponge for about 30 minutes; check doneness with a toothpick. Let it cool, then cut into small cubes. 6. Pour 300 ml of the heavy cream, the milk, one-third of the powdered sugar, and the cocoa powder into a saucepan. Stir well. Set the pan on the stove and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. 7. In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks, another third of the powdered sugar, and the cornstarch with a mixer until thick. Then pour in the hot cream-milk-cocoa mixture in a thin stream. Return everything to the stove and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, until you have a thick chocolate custard. Let it cool slightly, then beat in the butter with a mixer until fluffy. Cover with plastic wrap pressed to the surface so a skin doesn't form, and chill until cold. 8. Rinse and dry the cherries and pit them. Put them in a bowl, add the remaining powdered sugar, and pour in the lemon juice. Let the cherries sit for about half an hour to release their juice. 9. Set out 12 dessert glasses. Put pieces of chocolate sponge in the bottom of each, then a layer of cherries, then the chocolate custard. Add another layer of sponge and cherries on top. Refrigerate the glasses for a couple of hours so the layers soak. 10. Pour the remaining heavy cream into a bowl and whip until thick, adding the vanilla extract as you go. 11. Just before serving, top each trifle with whipped cream, a whole cherry, and a little grated chocolate. Enjoy!
