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?

    This looks amazing and perfect for the holidays! I never would’ve thought to add in cherry pie filling to a cake batter, but now I can’t wait to try it 🙂

      Thanks for commenting Alexis! I use pie filling alot. It adds moistness and sturdiness as well as flavor. You can try any flavor, or make an icing from a coordinating pudding.
      I find the simplest solutions make the best recipes! Let me know how it turns out! Happy Holidays.
