Obviously she was making a black forest cake too.

"Hi! I see you are also making some black forest cakes! Would you like to make them together?" Taylor asked and hoped it sounded politely.

Gold looked up, when she heard a voice that was not familiar. Oh. She had not started yet, but she guessed the girl had overheard what she, Gold, had just relayed to Professor Carlton. Tying her pretty!golden apron - one with the words "I am not an apron" stamped across it in big, scarlet letters - around her waist, Gold nodded cheerfully.

"Definitely," she said. "I'm Gold, by the way. Gold Laksh, sixth year." There. Now they could be on first name terms, if the girl was willing to let Gold know her name, too. Rawrr. "I have a basic recipe in mind, but I like to play around and try new things. If that's okay with you?" She opened her cookbook, to show the other girl the recipe, she had in mind.

Text Cut: Ze Recipe

Ingredients:

* 2 1/8 cups all-purpose flour
* 2 cups white sugar
* 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
* 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
* 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
* 3/4 teaspoon salt
* 3 eggs
* 1 cup milk
* 1/2 cup vegetable oil
* 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
* 2 (20 ounce) cans pitted sour cherries
* 1 cup white sugar
* 1/4 cup cornstarch
* 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 3 cups heavy whipping cream
* 1/3 cup confectioners' sugar

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9 inch, round, cake pans; cover bottoms with waxed paper.

2. In a large bowl, combine flour, 2 cups sugar, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Add eggs, milk, oil, and 1 tablespoon vanilla; beat until well blended. Pour batter into prepared pans.

3. Bake for 35 minutes, or until wooden toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean. Cool layers in pans on wire racks 10 minutes. Loosen edges, and remove to racks to cool completely.

4. Drain cherries, reserving 1/2 cup juice. Combine reserved juice, cherries, 1 cup sugar and cornstarch in a 2 quart saucepan. Cook over low heat until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla. Cool before using.

5. Combine whipping cream and confectioner's sugar in a chilled medium bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at high speed until stiff peaks form.

6. With long serrated knife, split each cake layer horizontally in half. Tear one split layer into crumbs; set aside. Reserve 1 1/2 cups Frosting for decorating cake; set aside. Gently brush loose crumbs off top and side of each cake layer with pasty brush or hands.

7. To assemble, place one cake layer on cake plate. Spread with 1 cup frosting; top with 3/4 cup cherry topping. Top with second cake layer; repeat layers of frosting and cherry topping. Top with third cake layer. Frost side of cake. Pat reserved crumbs onto frosting on side of cake. Spoon reserved frosting into pastry bag fitted with star decorator tip. Pipe around top and bottom edges of cake. Spoon remaining cherry topping onto top of cake.
