How to Make It
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350°.
Step 2
Coat bottoms of 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with cooking spray; line bottoms with wax paper. Coat wax paper with cooking spray; set aside.
Step 3
Combine 2/3 cup water, cranberries, orange juice, and margarine in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; cook 5 minutes.
Step 4
Combine 1 1/2 cups sugar, cocoa, and flour in a large bowl. Add cranberry mixture and boiling water; stir until well- blended. Add liqueur, vanilla, chocolate, and egg yolks; stir until well-blended. Set batter aside.
Step 5
Beat cream of tartar and egg whites at high speed of a mixer until foamy. Gradually add 1/4 cup sugar, 1 tablespoon at a time, beating until stiff peaks form. Gently stir one-fourth of egg white mixture into batter; gently fold in remaining egg white mixture.
Step 6
Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake at 350° for 35 minutes or until cake springs back when touched lightly in center. Let cool in pans 10 minutes on a wire rack; remove from pans. Peel off wax paper; let cool completely.
Step 7
Place 1 cake layer on a plate; spread with half of Chocolate Glaze, and top with other cake layer. Spread remaining glaze over top of cake.
