For a more intense cherry flavor, use Kirsch instead of cherry liqueur. If you don't have cherry pie filling, you can make your own by simmering fresh or frozen cherries with sugar and a little cornstarch until thickened. To prevent the cake from sticking, line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper rounds. The cake layers can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to assemble. For a boozy kick, brush the cake layers with additional cherry liqueur before adding the filling.
