Cherry Chocolate Dream Cake: A Decadent Delight for Every Occasion Indulge in the divine combination of rich chocolate and sweet cherries with our Cherry Chocolate Dream Cake. This delightful dessert will have your taste
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 and 1/2 cups granulated sugar
- 3/4 cup cocoa powder
- 1 and 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup boiling water
- 1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- Add the eggs, milk, oil, and vanilla to the dry ingredients and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the boiling water until the batter is smooth. The batter will be thin.
- Pour the batter evenly into prepared pans and bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then remove to wire racks to cool completely.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate, spread half of the cherry pie filling, followed by a layer of whipped cream.
- Top with the second cake layer and repeat the cherry and cream layers. Finish with chocolate shavings.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving for the best texture and flavor.
