Chocolate Cherry Cola Cake image

I love to celebrate birthdays with the crew and my bandmates. When we're on the road, it's nice to have the band family celebrate. Jimi's birthday falls at the end of October, and I sometimes make this silly chocolate cherry cola cake for him, decorating the top with chocolate cherry cordials or gummy candies. I always let him choose what he's got a hankering for, and it's often this.

Yield Makes one 9 x 13-inch cake

Number Of Ingredients 14

Cake:
1 Box Devil's Food cake mix
1 cup (8 ounces) cherry cola
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
One 10-ounce jar maraschino cherries, drained (reserve 1/4 cup of the liquid) and chopped
Frosting:
1/3 cup butter, at room temperature
4 1/2 cups powdered sugar, sifted
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
One 7-ounce jar marshmallow crème
18 fresh cherries, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Make the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 9 x 13- inch cake pan.
  • 2. Whisk together the cake mix, cherry cola, oil, eggs, vanilla, and the reserved cherry juice in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in the maraschino cherries. Pour the batter into the cake pan and bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool in the pan for at least 1 hour.
  • 3. Make the frosting: Using an electric mixer, beat the butter in a large bowl until fluffy. Gradually add 2 cups of the powdered sugar. Slowly beat in the milk and vanilla, then beat in the remaining powdered sugar. Add the marshmallow crème and mix well, then fold in the cherries. Frost the cooled cake in the pan.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my cake didn't rise properly. It was still tasty, but it wasn't as fluffy as I expected.
