Black Forest Cake

1 cup chopped drained Maraschino Cherries
1/4 cup cherry brandy
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
2 cups whipping cream, whipped

2 chocolate cake layers, 9-inch diameter (see below)
Shaved chocolate and Maraschino Cherries for garnish

1. Combine chopped cherries, brandy and corn syrup in a small bowl; stir to mix. Let stand covered.

2. Drain cherries well, reserving brandy marinade. Brush top of each cake layer with reserved marinade.

3. For filling, mix chopped cherries and 2/3 to 1 cup of the whipped cream in a medium bowl. Spread the filling on top of the bottom cake layer. Top with the top cake layer. If you are making a three-layer cake, spread half the filling on the bottom layer, top with middle layer and spread the other half of the filling on the middle layer. Then top with the top layer.

4. Spread 2 cups of the remaining whipped cream on the top and sides of the cake. Press remaining 1 cup of whipped cream through a pastry bag fitted with plain tip in rosettes on top of the cake. Press chocolate shavings into sides of cake to cover. Decorate top with whole and/or half-cut cherries and chocolate shavings.
