Chocolate Covered Cherry Cake

I made this for my mom for Mother's Day. She's always loved chocolate covered cherries. It's a simple white cake with hints of vanilla and almond extracts. I cut a dip into the bottom layer not only to keep the overall look of the cake smooth but also to keep the filling a secret. The filling is cherry pie filling with a layer of grated chocolate under it to keep it from soaking up too much. The top is chocolate ganache with whipped cream and maraschino cherries. I knew the whipped cream wouldn't last long but the way my mom's face lit up when she first saw it was so worth it.
