Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 180 degrees C, 10 minutes before baking. Line 9 inches (23 cm) cake pan with grease-proof or two non-stick papers.

Mix Dough:

Sift add flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, grated nutmeg, and baking soda. Next add, vanilla extract, and coconut milk, or cow's milk, or butter milk, and mix until the batter is smooth.

Pour dough into cake pan and bake at 350 degrees F. just until set in the middle, 60 minutes or 10 minutes more. Insert toothpick in center should come out cleaned and not wet. Although Jamaicans like your cake a bit dry. Do not over-bake!

Bake it:

After cake cools, use a long serrated knife to cut the cake horizontally into three equal layers. It is easier to cut if kept refrigerated for a few hours. Alternatively, be creative I used long sharp knife to cut layers.

Black forest cake filling and frosting:

Drain cherry pie filling in a colander to removed most of the thickened juices.

Beat the whipping cream with confectioners' sugar until it thickens. Using a vegetable peeler, shave chocolate, refrigerate until the cake is ready for assembling.

Assembling:

Sprinkle each layer of the cake with Kirshwasser, or Cherry Brandy, or any cherry red wine. Put one cake layer on a large plate, dish, or icing plate. Spread about one fifth of the whipped cream on each layer, and sprinkle half of the diced cherries on top of the whipped cream mixture. Add the second cake layer.

Spread one fifth of the whipped cream mixture, diced cherries on top the second layer. Add the third cake layer. Spread one fifth of the whipped cream mixture on top and one fifth on the sides. Gently press; sprinkle chocolate curls on the sides and/or on top of the cake.

Variations:

You could substitute the cherry pie filling with cherry jam. In that case, first spread the jam on the cake layers, then whipped cream mixture on top.

You could bake three separate cakes instead of one. In that case, baking time is 25 to 35 minutes; slice serving 24 people.
