I need to make this cake for tomorrow afternoon. can I bake the cake tonight and put in fridge until tomorrow? Or will it become too hard? I’m not going to decorate it until tomorrow so the whipped cream doesn’t become too hard. Also, I only have a 9 inch pan! Could this recipe work with a 9 inch? Love to try this recipe. But wondering if I can use only a 8” high cake pan Instead of 2 x 8”? Please advice ! Thanks ! Hi! I baked the two cakes but I have a question.. it’s about 1 inch high even though I used a 2” pan. I am excited to make this cake! As far as the hot water goes, what temperature should the water be? Is tap water hot enough, or should I boil the water? Thank you for your time and attention.
Superb recipe…tried it 1st time …n it was yummyy….my family luved it…better than the store bought cake…thanks. When you’re ready to assemble the cake, set aside 12 of the cherries, then put the pastry layer on a cake stand or board. Spread this with a third of the jam, a quarter of the cream and a third of the remaining cherries, then top with a layer of sponge (be gentle as you lift it) and repeat the jam, cream and cherry layers. Repeat again, finishing with the final layer of sponge.

Im making this for the fifth time for St Stephens day today. Its always a hit and I get to bring my clean serving dish home right away. Thanks so much for the recipe! After opening: Keep container closed. Keep cap area clean and free from syrup residues. Do not refrigerate – crystals may form in the liquid at low temperature.
Hi Shiran 🙂 this recipe looks fab and I am wanting to make a rectangular version of it. Would it be wise for me to double the recipe if I wanted to split it between two 14×11 inch pans? (approx length can’t remember exactly haha) Trust me. It’s an amazing recipe. Came out really well following your instructions. Thank you so much Shiran for this wonderful recipe. Many asked for the recipe and have forwarded to all of them. Will make it again. To make the chocolate cake: Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Generously butter two 8-inch cake pans that are at least 2-inches high, and dust with cocoa powder, tapping the ramekins slightly to remove any excess.I can’t find buttermilk.. if I use whole milk, is that ok? If I use whole milk, is that compulsory to use hot water?? Hi, please advice if I can be sure that 1 cup is 240ml? For canned cherries, juice and whipped cream. Since there are grams for everything except these ingredients. tnx. Are canned cherries the same as jarred cherries? I’m not sure if in Canada we have cherries with syrup since I’ve only ever seen cherry pie filling
Wonderful recipe! Very excited to try it! I was wondering what kind of canned cherries are best to use : cherries canned in water or cherries canned in heavy syrup? Thank you!! It was simple to assemble with your tips. I let the cake rest overnight in the fridge, as you suggested. If you’re making the pastry layer, sift the flour and cocoa powder into a mixing bowl and add a pinch of salt. Whisk together, then mix in the remaining ingredients to make a dough. Wrap in clingfilm and chill for 20 minutes.The hot water yields a super chocolatey and moist cake, and helps in mixing the ingredients thoroughly so the batter has no lumps. Awesome recipe. Couldn’t find Kirsch so used a cherry whisky. Only thing I would do different next time is use more of the syrup! I had lots left over. Definitely a keeper. Hi Megan. It might be a little small for all the batter, but as long as you don’t fill the pan more than 3/4 full, you should be ok. Baking time will be longer. Hi Ronalyn, you can leave it out, and replace it with more cherry juice. You can read more about it at the above post. I made this recipe yesterday, lovely moist sponge, but I added a bit more flour as the amount of flour to liquid, just didn’t seem right. Did you find this? Also alit of sugar 400g- I reduced this too. Cakecwas lovely.
I baked this for a family gathering, it was large enough for everyone to have a piece, thats 15 people! Looked and tasted amazing. Having another get together tomorrow for the bank holiday and this has been requested. Thanks so much for the recipe.
Hi Lidia, a great tip for making chocolate shavings if you are shaving them yourself from a chocolate bar: heat the chocolate bar just slightly , not so it’s melted but just warmed up. Use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate off the side — the warmth helps create perfect, beautiful curls! Hi Shiran, what’s the reason for draining the cherries first if they’re going to be soaked in the cherry juice from the can anyway (as described in ingredient list and Step 5) ?
Great Deal
