Preparation
2. Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
3. Add Wet Ingredients
Add eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined.
4. Incorporate Boiling Water
Carefully stir in boiling water until the batter is smooth. It will be thin.
5. Bake
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
6. Cool the Cakes
Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove from pans and transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
7. Prepare the Filling
Once cooled, slice each cake in half horizontally to create four layers. Soak each layer with kirsch.
8. Assemble the Torte
Place one layer on a serving platter, spread cherry filling over it, and top with whipped cream. Repeat the layers.
9. Finish with Toppings
Spread whipped cream over the top and sides of the cake. Decorate with chocolate curls and maraschino cherries.
10. Chill and Serve
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to set. Slice and enjoy!
