Cherry Chocolate Love Cake

Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients

1 box of chocolate cake mix 15.25 oz.
12 oz. of cherry vanilla coke
10 oz. jar of Maraschino cherries and the juice from the jar
2 sticks of butter salted
6-7 oz. of powdered sugar
Baker’s Joy non stick spray or butter to grease the pan

Instructions

combine and whisk together the cake mix and Cherry Vanilla Coke until incorporated
add a jar of quartered cherries to the batter and fold in gently
spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with Baker’s Joy or grease the dish with butter
Bake for 30 minutes at 350 (let it cool completely afterwards)
For the icing:
add the butter to a bowl
beat the butter with a hand mixer until it’s fluffy
beat in the powdered sugar one cup at a time (this seems impossible, but it isn’t…keep going)
add 3-4 oz. of cherry juice from the jar and beat a couple more minutes until it’s pretty in pink
Once the cake is cooled completely ice the cake
serve and garnish each piece with a Maraschino cherry

Notes

Cherry Vanilla Coke: The Cherry Vanilla COke is so delicious in it, but it may be hard to find. If you can’t find it use Cherry Coke, Vanilla Coke, Regular Coke, or any Cola at all!

Store for a few days on the counter, but wrap in plastic wrap and go the extra step of putting in a ziplock or container with a lid

Icing: Be patient with the icing. It may seem impossible to incorporate with the mixer, but don’t be scared! It’ll work! Keep going until it’s nice and fluffy!
