Cake

  • Preheat the oven 350° Fahrenheit.

  • Distribute the batter between three 9-inch baking pans. Bake for 45-50 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes before removing it from the pan.

Frosting

  • In a large bowl, whisk heavy whipping cream until soft peaks are reached.
  • Add in powdered sugar and vanilla extract, whisk until hard peaks are reached.

Assembly

  • Cut each cake in half horizontally.
  • Place one cake layer. Use the frosting to create a circle around the top edge of the cake layer. Fill with ⅓ of the cherry filling. Add another layer of cake, spread frosting across the top. Repeat 2 more times (the last time will not have the second layer of cake).
  • Use frosting to cover the outside of the cake.
