    Chocolate Love Cake


    You don't really need a heart-shaped
    cake to express feelings of admiration
    for someone. A cake made by you is
    certainly enough. But when you want
    that festive presentation-for a
    Valentine's Day party, a birthday, a
    coming home f te-then this is it.
    Serving: 12 to 16
    Prep Time: 20 minutes
    Cook Time: 30 to 35 minutes
    Total Time: 55 minutes

    FROSTING:
    Whipped Chocolate Ganache, flavored with kirsch if
    desired
    CAKE:
    Solid vegetable shortening for greasing the pans
    Flour for dusting the pans
    1 package (18.25 ounces) devil's food cake mix with
    pudding
    1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
    2 large eggs
    1 teaspoon pure almond extract
    GARNISH:
    White and dark chocolate curls
    1 cup fresh cherries with stems, or 1 cup rose petals

    1. Prepare the ganache, adding 1 tablespoon kirsch or


    other cherry liqueur if desired. Cover the bowl with
    plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 1
    hour.
    2. Meanwhile, place a rack in the center of the oven and
    preheat the oven to 350F. Generously grease one 8 inch round and one 8 -inch square cake pan with solid
    vegetable shortening, then dust with flour. Shake out
    the excess flour. Set the pans aside.
    3. Place the cake mix, cherry pie filling, eggs, and

    almond extract in a large mixing bowl. Blend with an


    electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute. Stop the
    machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a
    rubber spatula. Increase the mixer speed to medium
    and beat 2 minutes more, scraping down the sides again
    if needed. The batter should look well combined. Divide
    the batter between the prepared pans, smoothing it out
    with the rubber spatula. Place the pans in the oven side
    by side.
    4. Bake the cakes until they spring back when lightly
    pressed with your finger, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove the
    pans from the oven and place them on wire racks to
    cool for 10 minutes. Run a sharp knife around the edge
    of each layer and invert each onto a rack, then invert
    again onto another rack so that the cakes are right side
    up. Allow to cool completely, 30 minutes.
    5. When the ganache is nearly chilled, place the electric
    mixer beaters in the refrigerator to chill for 10 minutes.
    Remove the beaters and the bowl of ganache. Whip the
    ganache on high speed for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the
    frosting lightens in color and triples in volume.
    6. Place the square cake layer on a large serving platter
    so that one point faces you. Cut the round cake layer in
    half, and place the halves on adjoining sides of the
    square, to form a heart shape. Spread the frosting over
    the top and sides of the cake with clean, smooth
    strokes.
    7. Scatter the chocolate curls on top of the cake, and
    the cherries or rose petals around it. Slice and serve.
    Store this cake, covered in waxed paper, in the
    refrigerator for up to 1 week.
