To make before: Iciness, then frost. Warming, still covered, in
refrigerator. There is a simple coat (that we are always delighted to
see at church carry-ins and neighborhood potlucks) made with a cake
mix and a can of pie pick. Elinor Klivans' chocolate cherry buckle
("Bake and Freeze Desserts," Morrow, 1994), is an elevated,
five-step dessert using the same flavor compounding. Our recipe
strikes a happy medium between the ordinary and the ornate. Be sure
to thaw the cherries in a bowl before starting the recipe, at least 2
hours at board temperature or overnight in the refrigerator.
