This recipe comes from my friend Teresa's mother.
 Liselotte's Schwarzwalder Kirsch Torte
 100g Butter (1 stick)
 250g Sugar  (1 cup)
 3 Eggs
 100g Ground Hazelnuts (1/4 lb.)
 5 Tbsp Cocoa
 1 cup + 1-2 Tbsp Milk
 250g Flour 
 2 tsp Baking Powder
 1 Bar of Semi-sweet chocolate, grated
 For the filling: either cherry jam with whole cherries, or fresh 
 cherries, sliced and whipped cream (use heavy cream)
 Soften butter, add eggs and sugar.  Cream ingredients.  Add the rest of 
 the ingredients (except grated chocolate and filling ingredients), 
 alternating between flour and milk.  Mix well.
 Grease a 9 in. cake pan well and flour it.  Pour batter into Pan.  Bake 
 at 325-350F for 45 min.
 Let cake cool.  Cut in half. (you should have two whole circles!) Add a 
 layer of cherries and whipped cream in the middle.  Place top cake layer 
 over the filling.  Cover the entire cake with whipped cream and grated 
 chocolate.  Garnish with cherries if desired.
