CHERRY-CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH FUDGE FROSTING



Cherry-Chocolate Cake With Fudge Frosting image

This is one of my grandmother's famous church ladies' luncheon recipes. The cake itself is simple and turns out moist with morsels of cherries throughout. With the cake being so simple, that allows time to make a fabulous frosting. For the frosting, use Recipe #281675 or your preferred chocolate frosting. (Note: Preparation time does not include time required for cake or frosting to set.) In response to one of my reviews, I have adjusted the ingredients to improve the cake--omitted the vegetable oil and replaced it with water and eggs. This recipe is an old one of my grandmother's. I have not made it myself and wonder if her recollection of the ingredients was incorrect. Hopefully the 1-star review doesn't discourage anyone from trying the adjusted cake recipe. I'm not sure what was so terrible about the cake--if it was too dry, too moist, etc. Please be brave, try and give me your thoughts! :)

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is a good choice.
  • Make sure the butter and eggs are at room temperature before you start baking. This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out with just a few moist crumbs attached.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting set properly.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cake.

Conclusion:

This cherry chocolate cake with fudge frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The moist chocolate cake is studded with sweet cherries and topped with a rich and creamy fudge frosting. With its beautiful presentation and amazing flavor, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
