Before handing off my recipes to be edited and photographed, I triple tested each one and had all of my friends and family taste test. I had made a chocolate dessert with a cherry compote that, while it was amazing, my sister felt didn’t have that wow factor. And so I went back to the drawing board and this recipe was born. Safe to say it has that wow factor now! The cake base for this dessert is a recipe that was printed in Whisk a few years ago and I have been making it every year since.
