Recipe courtesy Sara Moulton
Heat oven to 350øF/175øC.
Generously grease and flour two 9" or three 8" round layer
pans. Beat flour, cups sugar, cocoa, baking soda, salt,
baking powder, water, shortening, eggs and vanilla in
large mixer bowl on low speed, scraping bowl constantly,
30 seconds. Beat on high speed, scraping bowl
occasionally, 3 minutes. Pour into pans.
Bake until wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean,
30 to 35 minutes. Cool 5 minutes; remove from pans. Cool
on wire racks.
PREPARE CHERRY FILLING: Mix sugar and cornstarch in 1
quart saucepan. Add enough water to reserved liquid to
measure 3/4 cup; stir into sugar mixture. Cook, stirring
constantly, until mixture thickens and boils. Boil and
stir 1 minute. Stir in kirsch and food color. Cut cherries
into halves; stir into filling. Refrigerate until
completely chilled.
With a vegetable parer or thin, sharp knife, slice across
chocolate bar with long strokes to form 12 to 14 chocolate
curls for garnishing cake. For best results, let chocolate
stand in warm place 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
Refrigerate curls until ready to use.
Place 1 cake layer upside down on serving plate. Beat
whipping cream and 1/4 cup sugar in chilled bowl until
stiff peaks form. Spread bottom layer with about 2/3 of
the Cherry Filling and 1 cup of the whipped cream. Place
other layer top side up on whipped cream. Spread with
remaining Cherry Filling. Frost side and top of cake with
remaining whipped cream.
If desired, coarsely shred enough remaining chocolate to
measure 1/2 cup. Gently press shredded chocolate onto side
of cake. Garnish top of cake with chocolate curls and
maraschino cherries. Refrigerate until serving time.
* Milk-chocolate candy bar can be substituted for the
sweet cooking chocolate.
** 1 can (16 ounces) pitted dark sweet cherries can be
substituted for the red tart cherries and the maraschino
cherry garnish; decrease sugar to 2 tablespoons.
