How to cook deliciously - Chocolate-Cherry Brownie Cake

1. Stage

Preheat oven to 350°. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan.

2. Stage

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate and extracts. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with cream, beating well after each addition.

3. Stage

Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake). Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.

4. Stage

Drain cherries, reserving 3 tablespoons juice for frosting; pat cherries dry with paper towels. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip cherries in chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set.

5. Stage

For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add melted chocolate and extracts. Beat in confectioners’ sugar alternately with reserved cherry juice, adding enough confectioners' sugar to reach desired consistency; beat until smooth. Frost cake. Serve with chocolate cherries.
