Make Cherry Compote (directions below).
Heat oven to 350°F. Grease and flour 9 mini fluted tube cake pans.
Melt shortening and use a pastry brush to grease the pans quickly.
Stir 1 cup of the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Add the egg, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat with a mixer on medium speed for 2 minutes. Stir in the boiling water.
Pour batter into the prepared pans, filling halfway.
Bake for 17 to 20 minutes, or until a wooden pick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool for 10 minutes, then remove the cakes from the pans to a wire rack. Cool completely.
To serve, place cakes on plates and pipe a ring of whipped cream on top of the cake, leaving an indentation in the center. Spoon the cherry compote into the space and serve immediately.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
