  4. Cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy.
  5. Add eggs and beat well, add vanilla.
  6. Add flour mixture, alternating with milk, beat until combined.
  7. Pour into 2 cake pans.
  8. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
  9. Cut each layer in half, horizontally making four layers total.
  10. Sprinkle layers with 1/2 cup Kirschwasser.
  11. In a separate bowl whip the cream to stiff peaks, then beat in 1/2 teaspoon vanilla and 1 tablespoon Kirschwasser.
  12. Add sugar powder and pinch of salt beat again.
  13. Spread first layer of cake with 1/3 of the filling top with 1/3 of the cherries repeat with remaining layers.
  14. Frost top and sides of cake.
