The pecan icing on this cake is amazing! And, the cherry-berry cake itself is super easy and moist. There are bursts of cherry in each bite. You can taste the bits of sweet coconut too. Serve this lovely cake for a sweet ending to your meal!

3 large eggs

  • 1. Combine the first three ingredients for the cake in large mixing bowl with mixer until moist and well incorporated.

  • 3. Pour the batter into a 9x13 baking pan that has been lightly sprayed with a vegetable oil spray.
  • 4. Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.

  • 6. Stir rapidly with a fork.
  • 7. Then drizzle over the cake while still hot from the oven. Set the cake aside and allow to completely cool.
  • 8. Frosting: Cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth with mixer.
