Rich chocolate layers filled with cherry pie filling and whipped cream.

Steps

1. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla and coffee.
2. Sift and add dry ingredients alternating with sour cream or milk, ending with flour.
3. Spread mixture in two 9" round cake pans and bake at 350°F in preheated oven for 30–40 minutes. Allow to cool in pans 10 minutes, remove and cool completely or let stand for 1 day.
4. Mix pie filling with liqueur. Split cakes in two so there will be 4 layers.
5. Spread first layer with pie filling. Put on second layer and spread with cream.
6. Put third layer on top and spread with pie filling, keeping some cherries for garnish.
7. Add last layer on top and cover the whole cake with cream. Garnish with cherries and grated chocolate if available.

Notes

• To make sour cream: add 1 tsp vinegar or lime juice to milk.
