Method
Combine ricotta and icing sugar in a bowl. Stir in cherries, chocolate and peel.
Cut each sponge cake in half crossways. Place base of 1 cake, cut side-up, on a plate. Brush with one-third of the liqueur. Spread one-third of the ricotta mixture over cake. Top with 1 cake top. Repeat layers with remaining liqueur, ricotta mixture and sponge cake, finishing with a layer of sponge. Dust with cocoa powder. Top with chocolate. Serve.
