4 Using serrated knife, cut cake in half horizontally to make 2 layers. Place bottom layer, cut side up, on serving platter. Spoon half of frosting onto cake layer; carefully spread, creating thick layer. Top frosted layer with half of the cherry preserves; spread to cover. Place remaining layer, cut side down, over filling. Top with remaining frosting; carefully spread to cover top. Spoon remaining preserves over cake; spread to cover.

Awesome recipe! I actually turned it into individual cakes in ramekins instead. Still turned out amazing.

This was absolutely the best cake I have ever had in my entire life (both before and after GF). I was a bit surprise on how the cake did not rise very high using this recipe, however, after assembling it with the layers of cream cheese frosting, it was big enough for me and my family. Next time I might just follow the recipe on the box for the cake and only add the instant coffee to it since I know the cake will rise much higher if I follow the box directions. Then I will only use the rest of the recipe for the frosting/toppings.

Great recipe just 2 things, remember most "preserves" are NOT Gluten Free at regular stores so good luck with that but you can make your own, and if Gluten Free you are probably already use to that, and the second thing the picture shows a double cake but the recipe is for a single cake so unless you plan on cutting that darn cake in 2 sheets you will need to buy 2 Devils food mixes and double the recipe, that's what I did and it was great!
