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...

CAKE INGREDIENTS:

1 3/4 c self-rising flour, plus extra for pans
1 2/3 c sugar

2 c cherry pie filling (mostly cherries, less liquid)
3/8 c butter or margarine, softened
3/8 c cocoa powder
1/2 c powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter and flour 2-9" round cake pans.
  • 2. Beat sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla in large mixing bowl. Add cocoa and salt. Stir. Mix in flour and beat for 2 or 3 minutes with hand mixer until smooth and thick. Stir in Hershey's Kisses to completed cake mix. Pour prepared mix into round pans, equally. Bake cake for 20-25 minutes or until toothpick, when inserted into cake comes out clean.

  • 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.
  • 6. Top with slivered or sliced almonds (optional). If nuts are not preferred, use milk-chocolate Hershey's Kisses instead of ones containing almonds.

This cake was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try making it with a different type of frosting next time.

The cake was a bit dry, but the cherry sauce helped to make up for it. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I'll probably experiment with different baking times next time.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I'll probably try making it again with less sugar next time.
