Serving: 12 | Pre Time: 30 minutes | Cooking Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
– 1 box devil’s food cake mix
– 3 large eggs
– 1/2 cup vegetable oil
– 1 1/4 cups water
– 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
– 1/4 cup kirsch or cherry liqueur
– 2 cups heavy whipping cream
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate shavings
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
2. In a large bowl, combine the devil’s food cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, and water; beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes until smooth.
3. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
4. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely—this prevents sticking and ensures easy handling.
5. While the cakes cool, drain the cherry pie filling in a sieve over a bowl to remove excess syrup, reserving 1/2 cup of the liquid.
6. Stir the kirsch into the reserved cherry liquid and set aside.
7. In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3–4 minutes; chill the cream until ready to use to maintain its structure.
8. Place one cake layer on a serving plate and brush it generously with half of the kirsch mixture using a pastry brush.
9. Spread 1 cup of the whipped cream evenly over the brushed layer, then top with half of the drained cherries.
10. Place the second cake layer on top and repeat the brushing with the remaining kirsch mixture.
11. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining whipped cream, using an offset spatula for a smooth finish.
12. Decorate the top with the remaining cherries and sprinkle the chocolate shavings over the entire cake, pressing them gently into the sides for adherence.
Soak in the rich, moist crumb that melds perfectly with the tart cherries and boozy kick. Serve slices chilled for a firm texture that contrasts with the fluffy cream, or garnish with fresh mint for a pop of color that elevates every bite.
