1 tablespoon water
3 ½ oz (100 g) ground or grated ladyfingers

6 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
½ cup sifted flour
1 teaspoon baking powder

3 tablespoons kirsch or cherry brandy
3 cups heavy cream

Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Line the bottom of 3, 9 inch round pans with parchment paper (or use 1 spring form 9 inch round pan). Butter and flour pan.
