Cherry Chocolate Cake

Cherry Chocolate Cake ~Chocolate Cake is so traditional and just like chocolate chip cookies, just about everyone has their own favorite recipe. I have many favorites and depending on if I am in the mood for a sturdy cake to stack and decorate, or a very moist cake, or a sour cream base batter each one has a place in my recipe box. This chocolate cake has a simple and moist batter that will be able to last a few days and stay fresh. Well, in my house cake doesn’t get to go stale. I like to dress up my icings in many ways. This one has cherries surrounding it but you can use any kind of fruit you like. I like the way the bright red color lights up the chocolate. How about you? What do you finish your decorating with?
