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! :)

Tips:

  • Soften butter at room temperature: This will make it easier to mix and cream together with sugar, resulting in a smooth and fluffy batter.
  • Use fresh cherries: Fresh cherries will give the cake a more intense flavor and a brighter color. If you only have access to frozen cherries, thaw them completely and drain them well before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake at the right temperature: The cake should be baked at 350°F (175°C) for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting.
  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can use a spoon to spread the frosting on the cake: Just be sure to smooth it out evenly.

Conclusion:

This cherry chocolate cake with fudge frosting is a delicious and decadent dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The rich chocolate cake is studded with fresh cherries and topped with a creamy, fudge frosting. It's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
