<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Preheat oven to 350º F (175º C). Grease and flour two 9 inch, round, cake pans; cover bottoms with waxed paper.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">In a large
bowl, combine flour, 2 cups sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda,
and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and 1 tablespoon vanilla; beat until
well blended. Pour batter into prepared pans.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Bake for 35
minutes, or until wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean.
Cool layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Loosen edges, and remove
to racks to cool completely.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Drain
cherries, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine reserved juice, cherries, 1
cup sugar and cornstarch in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook over low heat until
thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool before
using.</span></li>
<li><span class="plaincharacterwrap break">Combine
whipping cream and confectioner's sugar in a chilled medium bowl. Beat

serrated knife, split each cake layer horizontally in half. Tear one
split layer into crumbs; set aside. Reserve 1 1/2 cups Frosting for
