How to make it
- Make up cake mix according to manufacturer's directions. Spoon mixture into two greased 8" round cake tins. Bake in 350 F oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until cakes are cooked when tested. Turn out on wire racks to cool. (This recipe requires only one cake, the remaining cake can be frozen for future use.)
- Push ricotta cheese through wire strainer into small bowl. Beat mixture until smooth and creamy (this is easier if done with an electric mixer). Gradually beat in sugar and Grand Marnier. Stir in finely chopped ginger, cherries and chocolate, mix well.
- Cut the cake horizontally into 3 layers. Place one layer on serving plate.
- Syrup:
- Combine sugar, water and Grand Marnier in pan, stir over moderate heat until sugar has dissolved. Allow to cool. Brush bottom layer of cake with cooled syrup.
- Spread half the filling over cake, top with another layer of cake, brush with syrup, spread with remaining filling, top with remaining layer of cake which has been brushed with syrup. Place flaked almonds on baking tray, bake in moderate oven 5 minutes or until pale golden brown; cool.
- Icing:
- Place sugar and water in pan, stir over moderate heat until sugar has dissolved. Bring to boil, remove from heat, cool. Beat butter until soft and creamy, gradually beat in cooled syrup, a few drops at a time. Place chopped chocolate in top of double saucepan, stand over simmering water until chocolate has melted. Gradually add cooled melted chocolate to butter mixture. Beat until well combined. Spread icing over top and sides of cake, press flaked almonds around sides of cake. Using a rounded knife or spatula, swirl icing on top. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Allow to stand at room temperature 10 minutes before serving.
