CHOCOLATE CHERRY CHIP CAKE



Chocolate Cherry Chip Cake image

We always called it the "Busy Cake"...too many things going on with it! Crushed maraschino cherries can be found in the ice cream sundae department at the grocery store. If you can't find them, get regular maraschino cherries and chop.

Categories     Desserts     Fruit Dessert Recipes     Cherry Dessert Recipes

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups white sugar
¾ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
2 eggs
1 cup strong brewed coffee
1 cup milk
½ cup vegetable oil
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 (10 ounce) jar maraschino cherries, drained
2 cups miniature semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup butter, softened
4 cups confectioners' sugar
½ teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons vanilla extract
4 tablespoons milk

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch pan.
  • In a large bowl, mix flour, sugar, cocoa, baking powder, soda and salt.
  • Add eggs, coffee, milk, oil and vanilla. Beat until smooth (batter will be thin).
  • Fold in cherries and chocolate chips. Pour batter into 9x13 inch pan.
  • Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 35 minutes or until toothpick inserted into middle comes out clean. It's best to leave it in the pan, because the chips and the cherries sort of sink to the bottom and solidify and will stick big time! Frost with white buttercream.
  • For the frosting: In a large bowl, combine butter, confectioners sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt and vanilla. Cream with an electric mixer. Add milk by the tablespoon until frosting is smooth.

CHERRY CHA CHA DESSERT RECIPE - (4/5)



CHERRY CHA CHA DESSERT Recipe - (4/5) image

Provided by Sube

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup graham crumbs
1/4 cup melted butter
4 cups miniature marshmallows
3 tbsp icing sugar
1/2 pint whipping cream or 2 packages prepared dream whip or lucky whip
1 can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Combine crumbs with butter and sugar. Take out 2 tbsp mixture for top and press down in 13x8 pan and chill crust. Chill and whip cream, then add marshmallows. Carefully put 1/2 of mixture on chilled crust. Spread cherry filling on cream mixture then put rest cream mixture on cherry filling. Top with 2 tbsp crumbs.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries are sweeter and have a better flavor than frozen or canned cherries. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen or canned cherries, but be sure to drain them well before using.
  • Pit the cherries: Before you add the cherries to the recipe, be sure to pit them. You can use a cherry pitter or a knife to remove the pits.
  • Use semisweet chocolate chips: Semisweet chocolate chips are the best choice for this recipe because they have a rich flavor that pairs well with the sweetness of the cherries.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the cookies tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are set: The cookies are done baking when they are set in the center. The tops of the cookies will be firm and the edges will be slightly browned.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Cherry Cha Chas are a delicious and easy-to-make cookie that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of chocolate and cherries is a classic flavor combination that is sure to please everyone. These cookies are also a great way to use up fresh cherries.
