To make this delicious cake, you will need the following ingredients:

For the cake:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water

For the cherry filling:

- 2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted and chopped
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water

For the chocolate ganache:

- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
To make the cake, preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract and mix until well combined. Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cakes comes out clean. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove them from the pans and let them cool completely on wire racks.
To make the cherry filling, combine the cherries, sugar, cornstarch, and water in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and the cherries are soft, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
To make the chocolate ganache, heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it just begins to simmer. Remove from heat and add the chopped chocolate and vanilla extract. Stir until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
To assemble the cake, place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the cherry filling evenly over the top of the cake. Place the second cake layer on top of the cherry filling. Pour the chocolate ganache over the top of the cake, letting it drip down the sides. Refrigerate the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving.
This Chocolate Cherry Jubilee Cake is a showstopper dessert that will impress your guests. The rich chocolate cake is perfectly balanced by the sweet and tart cherry filling, and the chocolate ganache adds a luxurious touch. This cake is perfect for any special occasion or just as a treat for yourself.
