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.
