CHOCOLATE CHERRY COLA CAKE



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.

CHERRY COLA CHOCOLATE CAKE



Cherry Cola Chocolate Cake image

I love chocolate covered cherries and cherry coke. This cake has the flavor of both.

Provided by Gretchen ***

Categories     Cakes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 12

CAKE
1 pkg devil's food cake mix
3 eggs
1 1/3 c cherry coca cola
1/2 c vegetable oil
1 Tbsp cherry extract*
FROSTING
1/2 c butter, softened
3 3/4 c confectioners' sugar
3 Tbsp ovaltine instant chocolate drink mix
1/4 c cherry coca cola
1 jar(s) maraschino cherries (for garnish)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease a 9 x 13 pan.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, cola, oil, and extract. Beat on low speed for 60 seconds; beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. Pour batter into pan. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  • 3. In a medium bowl combine butter, sugar, drink mix, and cola. Beat until smooth. Frost cake. Garnish each serving with a maraschino cherry. * Note: If you don't have cherry extract, just substitute 1 tablespoon of the juice from the jar of maraschino cherries.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality cola: For the best flavor, use a cola that you enjoy drinking. A good cola will have a strong, rich flavor that will come through in the cake.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will develop the gluten in the flour, which will make the cake tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the cake is cooked through. If the toothpick comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
  • Let the cake cool completely: Before frosting the cake, let it cool completely. This will help the cake to hold its shape and prevent the frosting from melting.
  • Use a good quality frosting: The frosting is what will make the cake extra special. Use a frosting that you love and that will complement the flavors of the cake.

Conclusion:

This chocolate cherry cola cake is a delicious and moist cake that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With its rich chocolate flavor, sweet cherry filling, and fizzy cola frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this chocolate cherry cola cake a try. You won't be disappointed!
