If you can't read it here, forget it! We're not your mail service.

Maybe he/she meant they wanted someone to post a recipe. I don't think that English is their native language.

I think she meant 'post' the recipe, you know post on usenet, perhaps = the posters first language is not English.

Perhaps this recipe would help the OP - =

That I can and will do:

Schwarzwälder Kirschtorte Serves 12

CHOCOLATE GENOISE

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate 1 cup boiling water 8 large eggs 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 cup superfine (caster) sugar 1-½ cups sifted cake flour

CHERRIES w/SYRUP*

2 1-pound cans morello cherries (OR red sour cherries) ¾ cup superfine (caster) sugar 1 cup cherry liquid ½ cup Kirsch

KIRSCH FILLING

2 cups confectioner's (icing sugar, sifted) 2/3 cup unsalted butter 2 egg yolks ¼ cup Kirsch

CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM

9 ounces semisweet chocolate ¾ cup superfine (caster) sugar 3 tablespoons water 3 egg yolks 1 cup unsalted butter, softened 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening (optional)

CREAM TOPPING

1 cup heavy cream 2 tablespoons superfine (caster) sugar ½ teaspoon vanilla extract ½ teaspoon Kirsch

DECORATION

12 maraschino cherries w/stems 1/3 cup Kirsch 1 bar semisweet chocolate (for chocolate curls)

CHOCOLATE GENOISE Preheat oven to 350º F. Prepare two 9-inch by 2-inch pans (or two 9-inch springform pans), greased, bottoms lined with parchment, and then greased again and floured. In a heavy saucepan bring the chocolate and water to a boil over low heat, stirring constantly. Simmer, stirring, for 5 minutes or until the chocolate thickens to a pudding-like consistency. (It will fall from the spoon and pool slightly before disappearing.) Cool completely. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, vanilla extract and sugar with the whisk beater on high speed for 10 minutes or until triple in volume. (A hand beater may be used but it will be necessary to beat for at least 20 minutes.) Sift ½ the flour over the egg mixture and fold it in gently but rapidly with a slotted skimmer or large rubber spatula until some of the flour has disappeared. Repeat with the remaining flour until all flour has disappeared. Fold in the chocolate mixture until incorporated. Pour immediately into the prepared pans (they will be about 2/3 full) and bake 30 to 35 minutes or until a tester inserted in the centers enters as easily as it does when inserted closer to the sides. The cakes rise to the tops of the pans during baking and will lower slightly when done, pulling slightly away from the sides. Avoid opening the oven door before the minimum time or the cakes could fall. Loosen the sides of the cakes with a small metal spatula and unmold at once onto lightly greased racks. Reinvert to cool. The firm upper crusts prevent falling. Trim the bottom and top crusts and split each layer in half horizontally to make (4) ½" layers, when ready to complete the cake.

CHERRIES w/SYRUP Drain the cherries for 30 minutes, reserving 1 cup cherry liquid. In a medium saucepan combine the cherry liquid and sugar and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. Boil briskly, uncovered, for 5 minutes. Add the cherries and simmer, covered, 1 minute. Remove from the heat. Transfer the cherries with a slotted spoon to a jar with tight-fitting lid and add the Kirsch. Boil the remaining syrup until reduced to 2/3 cup and pour over the cherries. Cover tightly and swirl to mix. Cool completely and refrigerate until ready to complete cake. *Note: May be prepared well in advance and stored.

FILLING In a large mixing bowl, beat the confectioner's sugar and butter with the whisk beater on low speed until well-blended. Add egg yolks, beating on high speed for 3 to 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. Gently fold in Kirsch.

CHOCOLATE BUTTERCREAM Chop the chocolate into small bits and put in a large mixing bowl. Bring the sugar and water to a boil in a small saucepan, and boil for 1 minute. Pour the boiling sugar mixture over the chocolate and stir until smooth. If the mixture becomes granular and begins to stiffen, beat in 2 tablespoons vegetable shortening to smooth it out. Cover and set aside to cool to room temperature. In another mixing bowl, beat the egg yolks with the whisk beater until well blended. Add the cooled chocolate mixture and beat well. Continue to beat on high speed, adding small bits of butter (about 2 tablespoons) at a time, and beating well until all the butter is incorporated and the frosting is light and fluffy.

CREAM TOPPING Whip cream in a small chilled mixing bowl until frothy. Add sugar, vanilla and Kirsch. Continue beating until very stiff (almost to butter).

DECORATION Macerate maraschino cherries in Kirsch for at least 24 h ours prior to assembling cake. Warm chocolate bar to approximately 80º F., or just warm enough to prevent splintering. Form chocolate curls by using a potato peeler drawn against the length of the bar. Chill until ready to complete cake.

ASSEMBLY Drain cherries, reserving syrup. There should be about 1 cup, 2 tablespoons of syrup. Add additional Kirsch, if necessary. Transfer the cakes to a long strip of waxed paper and prick each layer lightly in several places with the tines of a long fork. Sprinkle the layers evenly with the syrup and let them rest for at least 5 minutes. Cut out a cardboard round to fit the diameter of the cake layer. Place bottom layer on cardboard and spread with 1/3 of the filling. Distribute an even layer of cherries (so that they are touching) on top of filling. Place 2nd and 3rd cake layers, repeating with layers of filling and cherries. Top with 4th cake layer. Wrap cake gently in plastic film and refrigerate for at least 1 hour for filling to become firm. Remove cake from refrigerator and discard plastic film. Frost sides only with chocolate buttercream, using an icing comb to finish and decorate the sides. Pile the entire amount of cream topping on top of cake. Use an icing comb or swirl decoratively into an even layer. Place 12 maraschino cherries evenly spaced around perimeter of top and pile chocolate curls decoratively in center. Cover cake closely and refrigerate at least 24 hours (48 hours is better), to allow moisture to equalize and flavors to mellow. Serve chilled.
