Cooking instruction summary:

  1. To make the pastry cream:
  2. Add the cornstarch to 1/4 cup of the milk and stir to combine. Set aside.
  3. Add the rest of the milk to a pot on stove along with the sugar and cook until boiling. Remove from heat.
  4. To the milk and cornstarch mixture add your egg and egg yolks. Beat well.
  5. Pour 1/3 of the milk into the egg mixture whisking constantly.
  6. Take the warm milk/egg mixture and pour it back in with the remaining milk continuing to whisk.
  7. Place the pot back on medium heat and continue to whisk the mixture until it thickens into a custard consistancy.
  8. Remove from heat and add in the butter and vanilla.
  9. Stir well and place in the fridge to cool completely.
  10. To Make the Cake:
  11. To a bowl add together all the dry ingredients: the cake flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and sift once if needed.
  12. Add to a mixer the eggs yolks and half the sugar; 1/3 cup. Beat until light yellow in color. Set aside.
  13. Next, add the egg whites to the mixer with the remaining sugar. Beat until stiff white peaks form.
  14. Combine together the melted butter, cherry juice, and vanilla.
  15. Gently fold the egg yolks into the egg whites until about halfway combined.
  16. Add in the flour mixture and continue to gently fold the ingredients until flour is about halfway combined.
  17. Last, add in the cherry juice and fold until all the ingredients are just combined.
  18. Pour the batter into two 8 or 9" cake pans and bake at 350 degrees for 18-20 minutes. I used 9" pans. Cook about 2 minutes less for 8" pans.
  19. To Make the Ganache:
  20. Place the cream and the chocolate in a microwave safe container and place it in the microwave for 20 seconds.
  21. Pull it out and stir. Repeat two to three more times or until the chocolate just begins to melt into the cream.
  22. Once the chocolate begins to melt into the cream, you don't need to microwave it anymore. Just keep stirring and allow the chocolate to slowly melt into the warm cream. It will take a minute or two but it will melt and create a ganache.
  23. To Assemble the Cake:
  24. Place a layer of cake, followed by the custard.
  25. Add the cherries and then the top of the cake.
  26. Finally, pour the ganache over the top of the cake and allow it to fall over the edges.

Food Joke

John Smith was the only Protestant to move into a large Catholic neighborhood. On the first Friday of Lent, John was outside grilling a big juicy steak on his grill. Meanwhile, all of his neighbors were eating cold tuna fish for supper. This went on each Friday of Lent. On the last Friday of Lent, the neighborhood men got together and decided that something had to be done about John, he was tempting them to eat meat each Friday of Lent, and they couldn't take it anymore. They decided to try and convert John to Catholicism. They went over and talked to him and were so happy that he decided to join all of his neighbors and become a Catholic. They took him to Church, and the Priest sprinkled some water over him, and said, "You were born a Baptist, you were raised a Baptist, and now you are a Catholic." The men were so relieved, now their biggest Lenten temptation was resolved. The next year's Lenten season rolled around. The first Friday of Lent came, and just at supper time, when the neighborhood was setting down to their tuna fish dinner, came the wafting smell of steak cooking on a grill. The neighborhood men could not believe their noses! WHAT WAS GOING ON? They called each other up and decided to meet over in John's yard to see if he had forgotten it was the first Friday of Lent? The group arrived just in time to see John standing over his grill with a small pitcher of water. He was sprinkling some water over his steak on the grill, saying, "You were born a cow, you were raised a cow, and now you are a fish."
