Chocolate love cake with cherries & booze

This is a great cake to make for that special person in your life – it's not too difficult and totally delicious! Serve it with a little glass of whatever booze you decide to add to the chocolate sauce – I love brandy, but rum, Amaretto or Baileys would also work well.
