Ingredients
- 1 recipe Perfect Chocolate Cake baked and cooled
for the cherry filling-
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 2 cups frozen tart cherries + extra for garnish
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1/4 teaspoon almond extract
for the whipped cream-
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 6 tablespoons chocolate syrup divided
Instructions
- The first thing to do is make the cake using this recipe! Let the 2-8 inch cakes cool completely.
- For the cherry filling, stir sugar and cornstarch together in a cold small pot until combined. Add in cherries and toss. Place over medium-low heat to melt frozen cherries. Once a paste has formed around the cherries, increase the heat to medium and keep stirring until all the liquid has come out of the cherries and mixture is boiling. Continue to stir until it becomes very thick, about 4 minutes or boiling. Be careful to not walk away from this mixture because it can burn easily. Remove from heat and stir in butter and almond extract. Cool completely.
- For the cream, whip heavy whipping cream, sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
