1-1/4 cups shortening
2-3/4 cups sugar
5 large eggs
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon cherry extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries with stems
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped

2 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted and cooled
1 teaspoon cherry extract
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3-3/4 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar

1
Preheat oven to 350u00b0. Grease and flour a 10-in. fluted tube pan.
2
In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in melted chocolate and extracts. In another bowl, whisk flour, salt and baking powder; add to creamed mixture alternately with cream, beating well after each addition.
3
Transfer batter to prepared pan. Bake 60-70 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out with moist crumbs (do not overbake). Cool in pan 10 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
4
Drain cherries, reserving 3 tablespoons juice for frosting; pat cherries dry with paper towels. In a microwave, melt chocolate and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip cherries in chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set.
5
For frosting, in a large bowl, beat butter until creamy. Add melted chocolate and extracts. Beat in confectioners' sugar alternately with reserved cherry juice, adding enough confectioners' sugar to reach desired consistency; beat until smooth. Frost cake. Serve with chocolate cherries.
