Killer cherry good

Drain the cherries well in a sieve. Cream the butter with the sugar and eggs until light and fluffy, then gradually add the rum, flour, baking powder, nuts, chocolate shavings, cocoa powder and cinnamon, and mix well. Grease and flour a 26 cm springform pan. Pour half of the batter into the pan, top with the cherries, and then pour the other half of the batter on top. Bake in a preheated oven at 160°C for 60 minutes. After baking, immediately turn the cake out onto a cake plate and pierce several times with a wooden skewer or knitting needle. Mix the Black Forest cherry brandy with the sugar and drizzle this mixture over the warm cake, allowing the liquid to soak in. Immediately dust the cake thickly with powdered sugar. This will create a light sugar crust as it cools.
