Ingredients:

Serving

10 oz bittersweet (not unsweetened ) or semisweet chocolate, chopped
3/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 tbsp unsweetened dutch-process cocoa powder , sifted
4 large egg yolks
1/4 cup water
1 tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup chilled whipping cream
2 cups fresh cherries, pitted, halved
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp kirsch (clear cherry brandy)
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 1/2 tsp cornstarch
1/2 tsp grated lemon peel

Directions:

For marquise: Butter 8 1/2x5 1/2x3-inch glass loaf dish. Line dish smoothly with foil. Stir chocolate in top of double boiler over barely simmering water until smooth. Turn off heat. Using electric mixer, beat 1/2 cup butter in large bowl until fluffy. Beat in 1/4 cup sugar, then cocoa powder.
Whisk yolks, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 cup butter, and 1/4 cup sugar in metal bowl. Set over saucepan of simmering water (do not let bowl touch water). Whisk constantly until candy thermometer registers 160°F, about 6 minutes. Remove from over water. Using electric mixer, beat yolk mixture until thick and cool, about 5 minutes. Beat into cocoa mixture. Fold in warm chocolate and vanilla. Beat cream in another bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into chocolate mixture; spread in prepared dish. Cover and chill until firm, at least 4 hours. (Can be made 4 days ahead. Keep chilled.)
For sauce: Stir all ingredients in medium saucepan over medium heat until sauce boils and thickens, about 5 minutes. Cool slightly. (Can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
Turn marquise out onto platter; peel off foil. Cut into 3/4-inch-thick slices. Place 1 slice on each plate. Spoon warm cherry sauce over and serve immediately.
