From: hz225wu@unidui.uni-duisburg.de (Micaela Pantke) Date: Thu, 12 Aug 93 09:26:15 +0200 Cherry Filling: Drain 1 16-oz. can of pitted dark sweet cherries, reserving 1/2 cup liquid. Halve cherries, and pour 1/3 cup Kirschwasser over them. Let stand 2 hours or overnight. Reserve a few cherry halves for garnish. Combine 4 tsp. cornstarch and reserved liquid, add cherry-Kirsch mixture. Cook and stir until bubbly. Cool. Preheat Oven at 350 F. Grease & lightly flour 2 9-1/2" round baking pans. Combine beaten egg 2/3 cup sugar, 1/2 cup milk, and chocolate. Cook and stir until mixture just boils. Cool. Combine flour, soda & salt. Beat shortening 30 seconds, add remaining sugar & vanilla, beat until fluffy. Add the 2 eggs, beating 1 minute after each. Add dry ingredients and remaining 1 cup milk alternately to beaten mixture, beating after each addition. Stir in chocolate mixture, turn into pans. Bake for 25-30 minutes. Cool 10 minutes on racks, remove from pans, cool. To assemble, place 1 cake layer on a serving plate, spread with cherry filling and whipped cream. Place 2nd layer on top, frost with whipped cream and garnish with reserved cherry halves and shaved chocolate curls. Note: This recipe originally called for using a plain buttercream frosting in place of whipped cream, but all the versions I have had in restaurants use whipped cream instead. Use your discretion. You can also add a little kirsch to the whipped cream. REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES /CAKES From rec.food.cooking archives. Downloaded from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
