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! :)

  • 17. What is Canola: Canola is a crop with plants from three to five feet tall that produce pods from which seeds are harvested and crushed to create canola oil and meal. These plants also produce small, yellow flowers, which beautify the environment. Canola belongs to the same family as mustard, broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cauliflower. Besides the U.S., it is grown in Canada and Australia, but canola oil is consumed all over the world. In the U.S., the ratio of supply versus demand of canola oil is about 1:3, which presents a huge opportunity for U.S. producers to grow more canola. Canola is grown in predominantly in North Dakota, but also in Oklahoma, Minnesota, Montana, Idaho, Oregon and several other states. A moist cake is the goal of every baker, but it's sometimes easier said than done. Vegetable oil can help prevent a dry cake and you will find it as an ingredient in many recipes, as well as a staple for boxed cake mixes. Most vegetable oils will work just fine in cake, but some alter the flavor of baked goods and some are expensive. Canola is one of the most common cooking oils and wins in the category of best all-around oil to use for baking a cake. It combines ease of use, wide availability and health benefits with a relatively low expense. Canola oil is very low in saturated fats. It contains linoleic (omega-6) and α-linolenic acid (omega-3) essential fatty acids at 2:1 making it as one of the healthiest cooking oils at a ratio even better than olive oil.
  • 18. Canola oil has very little flavor, particularly when used in baked goods. It is considered neutral tasting oil and will allow the flavor of your cake to shine through. Any flavor of cake, from chocolate and vanilla to carrot and spice, works well with canola oil. Since the oil is not expensive you can splurge on other high-quality ingredients, such as real vanilla, because those will be the flavors that define the cake.
  • 19. Thank you for viewing my Chocolate Fudgy Cake recipe. I hope you send a response if you make it!! And if you're not interested in the recipe, I hope at least you learned something new about Canola Oil!!! The brands I used are my own personal preferences, but you can use the brands you are comfortable with.
