Choco-Cherry-Almond Naked Cake with Warm Cherry Sauce image

There are times when I create a new recipe and my step-son looks at me after tasting it and just turns and walks away. He told me after having a piece of this cake that he wanted to make sure that I wasn't giving any of this cake away and that he wanted another piece later! To me, that was the best compliment I could have...

3/8 c butter or margarine, softened
3/8 c cocoa powder

  • 5. Place bowl of remaining filling mixture into microwave and heat for 40 seconds or until very warm. When plating cake, pour warmed sauce over pieces of cake.

The cake was delicious, but it was a lot of work to make. I'm not sure if I would make it again.

The frosting was too runny. I had to add more powdered sugar to thicken it up.

The cake was dry and crumbly. I think I overbaked it.

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend reducing the amount of sugar in the recipe.

I made a few substitutions to the recipe and it turned out great! I used almond flour instead of all-purpose flour and dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet chocolate chips. The cake was still moist and flavorful.

I'm not a huge fan of naked cakes, but this one changed my mind. The lack of frosting allows the flavors of the cake and sauce to really shine through.

The warm cherry sauce is the perfect complement to the chocolate cake. It adds a touch of sweetness and tartness that really elevates the flavor.
