Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 c sugar
1 3/4 c all-purpose flour
3/4 unsweetebed cocoa powder (i use hershey's)
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 eggs
1 c milk
1/2 c vegetable oil
2 tsp vanilla
1 c boiling water
ICING:
1 pkg instant chocolate pudding mix (i use jello brand)
2 envelopes of dessert topping mix (kraft dream whip will do)
1 1/4 c cold milk (for topping mix)
1 can(s) cherry pie filling (center of cake)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350F. Grease and flour two nine inch round pans.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Add the eggs, milk, oil and vanilla, mix for 2 minutes on medium speed of mixer. Stir in the boiling water last. Batter will be thin. Pour evenly into the prepared pans.
  • 3. Bake 30 to 35 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cake tests done with a toothpick. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes, and then remove from pans to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • 4. *NOTE: You can use any chocolate cake mix you want if you don't have time to make it from scratch. (i use BC german chocolate)
  • 5. For icing: In a mixing bowl add pudding mix, topping mix, and milk. (I always double the icing to make sure I have enough)
  • 6. Directions for Icing cake: Smooth icing down sides and about 2 inches over, leaving the whole center free to spoon in your delicious cherry pie filing. Repeat process for second layer.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries have the best flavor and texture for this cake. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Overbaking the cake will make it dry. If you're not sure if the cake is done, insert a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. Frosting a warm cake will make the frosting melt. Let the cake cool completely before frosting it.
  • Use a cream cheese frosting. Cream cheese frosting is the perfect complement to the cherry cake. It's rich and creamy, and it pairs perfectly with the tart cherries.
  • Garnish the cake with fresh cherries. Garnish the cake with fresh cherries before serving. This will add a pop of color and freshness to the cake.

Conclusion:

Cherry Dream Cake is a delicious and easy-to-make cake that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist and fluffy cake layers, creamy cream cheese frosting, and fresh cherries, this cake is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give Cherry Dream Cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
