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

VIRUS WARNING**** If you received an e-mail with a subject line of "Badtimes," delete it immediately without reading it! It is the most dangerous E-mail virus yet. It will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It will recalibrate your refrigerator's settings so all your ice cream melts and your milk curdles. It will demagnitize the strips on all your credit cards, reprogram your ATM access codes, screw up the tracking on your VCR and use subspace field harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play. It will give your ex-boy/girlfriend your new phone number. It will mix antifreeze into your fish tank. It will drink all your beer and leave your dirty socks on the coffee table when there's company coming over. It will hide your car keys when you are late for work and interfere with your car radio so that you hear only static while stuck in traffic. Badtimes will make you fall in love with a hardened pedophile. It will give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will replace your shampoo with Nair and your Nair with Rogaine, all while dating your current boy/girlfriend behind your back and billing their hotel rendezvous to your Visa card. Badtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the toilet seat up and leave the hairdryer plugged in dangerously close to a full bathtub. It will not only remove the forbidden tags from your mattress and pillows, it will refill your skim milk with whole. It is insidious and subtle. It is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather interesting shade of mauve. These are just a few of the signs. BE AFRAID! BE VERY AFRAID!
