method
Preheat oven to 160°C (150°C fan forced). Grease and line the base of 3 x 6 inch (15cm) round cake tins with baking paper.
mix
- In a mixing bowl, combine packet cake mix, milk (or water), eggs and melted butter (or non-dairy spread).
- Beat with an electric mixer using the whisk attachment on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Pour the batter into your cake tins and cover with foil, leaving room for the cake to rise in the centre.
bake
- Bake in your preheated oven for 20 minutes, then remove the foil and bake for a further 10 minutes or until a skewer inserted in the centre comes out clean. Remove cakes from their tins and place on a wire cooling rack to cool completely before assembling.
filling
- Place cream and vanilla essence in a mixing bowl, and whip with an electric mixer on medium speed until stiff peaks form. Fold through your chopped cherries with a spatula.
ganache
- To make the dark choc ganache, place your Dark Choc Baking Chips and cream in a small microwave safe bowl. Melt in the microwave on low heat in 20 second increments, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside.
assembly
- Place one cake on a cake stand or serving plate. Top with approximately half of your whipped cream and spread evenly. Repeat with remaining layers of cake and cream, finishing with a cake layer on top.
- Carefully pour your dark choc ganache on top of your cake and spread with a palette knife or spoon, allowing some to drip over the edge. Decorate with cherries on top.
