List of Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus 2 tablespoons
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
3/4 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup cocoa
1/2 cup shortening

1 cup milk
1 Tbs vanilla extract
3 cups whipping cream

Recipe
1 Combine first 6 ingredients in a large mixing bowl; stir until well mixed. Add shortening, eggs, milk, and vanilla; beat mixture 3 minutes at low speed of an electric mixer, scraping sides of bowl occasionally.
2 Grease two 9-inch round cakepans; line bottoms with wax paper. Pour batter into pans. Bake at 350°F for 30 to 35 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Cool in pans 10 minutes; remove from pans, and let cool completely on wire racks.
3 Split cake layers in half horizontally to make 4 layers. Make fine crumbs using 1 cake layer; set crumbs aside.
4 Beat whipping cream until foamy; gradually add powdered sugar, beating until soft peaks form. Place 1 cake layer on cake platter; spread with 1 cup whipped cream, and top with 3/4 cup cherry pie filling. Repeat with second layer, and then top with third cake layer. Frost sides and top with whipped cream, reserving a small amount for garnish. Pat cake crumbs generously around sides of cake. (There may be leftover cake crumbs.) Spoon or pipe whipped cream around top of cake; spoon remaining pie filling on center of top. Chill well.
5 Yield: one 3-layer cake.
