Spread 1 cup whipped cream over the cherries in a thin layer. Spread about 1 cup whipped cream over the top in a thin layer, then top with all but 1/4 cup cherries. Put one cake cut-side up on a cake stand or serving plate and brush with half of the reserved syrup. Trim a thin layer off the top of each cake with a long serrated knife. With the mixer running, add the cooked cream mixture and beat until stiff peaks form, 1 to 2 minutes.ĭrain the cherries and reserve the syrup. Refrigerate 30 minutes.įinish the whipped cream: Beat the remaining 2 1/4 cups cold heavy cream and vanilla in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until soft peaks form, about 1 minute. Stir in the almond extract and transfer to a bowl. Meanwhile, make the filling: Bring the cherries, cherry syrup, kirsch and granulated sugar to a simmer in a small saucepan, stirring, until the sugar dissolves, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, place a piece of plastic wrap directly onto the surface and refrigerate until completely cooled, about 30 minutes. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring, until thick and bubbling, about 1 minute.

Slowly add 3/4 cup heavy cream, whisking, until a paste forms. Meanwhile, make the whipped cream: Whisk the confectioners' sugar and cornstarch in a small saucepan (the cornstarch will help stabilize the whipped cream). Let the cakes cool 5 minutes in the pans, then remove to a rack, parchment-side down, and let cool completely. Immediately run a small offset spatula around the edges to loosen. Bake until the cakes pull away from the sides of the pans and a toothpick inserted into the centers comes out clean, about 25 minutes.

Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans. Repeat with the remaining flour mixture in two batches, adding the vanilla with the final addition. Sprinkle one-third of the flour mixture over the egg mixture and gently fold with a whisk until combined. The mixture should fall off the beaters in a ribbon when lifted. Increase the speed to medium high and beat until pale, fluffy and thick, about 10 minutes.

Add the granulated sugar and beat with a mixer on low speed to combine.

Remove the eggs from the water and crack into a large bowl. Sift the cocoa powder, cake flour and salt into a medium bowl, then whisk in the almond flour set aside. Put the eggs (in their shells) in a medium bowl and cover with hot tap water let stand 5 minutes (warming the eggs will help them whip better). Butter the parchment and dust the bottoms and sides of the pans with cocoa powder, tapping out the excess. Butter the bottoms and sides of two 9-inch round cake pans line the bottoms with parchment paper. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
