1+¼ cup sugar (275 g Approximately) 
½ cup  butter - softened (110 g Approximately) 
2 eggs 
1+¼ cup all-purpose flour (140 g Approximately) 
½ cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder - natural 
1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
1 teaspoon baking soda 
½ teaspoon baking powder 
¾ cup (1.8 dl) buttermilk. 
 
Ingredients for filling :¼ cup Kirschwasser (cherry brandy or Kirsch).. optional - Choice is up to your taste. 
¼ cup confectioners' sugar 
2 cans pitted cherries or cherry pie filling  (400 g or 14 oz) 
3 cups (7.2 dl) heavy whipping cream, chilled 
for garnish - shavings or Milk chocolate curls 
Maraschino cherries or sweet cherries - for garnish - optional if you want 
 
Method : 
 
First >> Preheat oven to 350 deg F (Gas mark 4 or 180 deg C). 
 
1- Line a 9 inch cake pan ( = 23 cm)  with greaseproof or other non-stick paper. 
  
2- Beat the softened butter with sugar by electric mixer until white and fluffy. 
  
3- Then - add one egg at a time - mix well between each egg. 
  
4- Add sifted flour - cocoa powder - baking powder - vanilla extract - baking soda - and buttermilk.. then  mix until the batter is smooth. 
  
5- Transfer to a cake pan and bake at 350 degrees just until set in the middle, approximately 50-60 minutes ( after 45 minutes make test by a wooden pick inserted in center should come out with just a few moist crumbs on it ) - Do not over-bake! 
  
6- Leave cake to cool - then - use a long serrated knife to cut the cake horizontally into 3 equal layers. 
 
note : It is easier to cut if kept in a refrigerator for a few hours before cutting. 
 
Filling method : 
 
1- Drain cherry pie filling in a colander to remove most of the thickened juices. 
    
2- Beat the whipping cream with confectioners' sugar until it thickens. 
    
3- Using a vegetable peeler - shave chocolate and refrigerate until the cake is assembled. 
 
 
Assembling process : 
 
1- Sprinkle each layer of the cake with Kirschwasser. 
    
2- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. 
    
3- Spread about one fifth of the whipped cream on the layer, and strew half of the cherries on top of the whipped cream. 
    
4- Then - add the second cake layer. 
    
5- Spread one fifth of the whipped cream on the second layer and the remaining cherries on top. 
    
6- Then - add the third cake layer. 
    
7- Spread again - one fifth of the whipped cream on top and one fifth on the sides. 
 
8- Gently press the chocolate curls on the sides and/or on top of the cake. 
 
 
Other choices with Variations : 
 
You may substitute the cherry pie filling with cherry jam  - so - spread first the jam on the cake layers, then whipped cream on top. 
    
You may use three cake tins instead of one - so - the baking time must be shortened. 
    
If cake flour is used, the cake comes out much fluffier (it's suggested by Andrea in February 2009).
