Pour into prepared pan and bake until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean with a few moist crumbs. Invert onto a wire rack to cool completely. For the frosting, beat butter and sugar together in a bowl until pale. Beat in vanilla and cocoa. Spread over the cake and drizzle over cherry jam. Scatter with fresh cherries, to serve.
