Chocolate Cherry Cake...with frosting by Willy!

In the course of emailing back and forth with the entire family for today's reunion party, I volunteered to make that chocolate cherry cake recipe that I posted a couple of weeks ago, this time, with the cream cheese frosting. Interestingly enough, one of my nephews responded with this:

Just promise me that Willie will not be involved in making the frosting.  *;) winking

How he knew about Willy was something of a mystery. Everyone else was like, "Is this something I should know about?" My response to that was along the lines of, "Not unless you've been visiting my blog."
Apparently, said nephew had done just that after someone had given him a tip to check out a post that included Willy.

Now, before you all freak out, last time I checked, John was over twenty-one, and probably over thirty. Therefore, he won't be too shocked when he hears the news that yes, Willy did indeed help me frost the cake.


I figure if I flash this picture around enough, no one else will want any cake, which will leave that much more of it for me. *>:) devil 

I'll keep you posted on the outcome of that strategy. Good thing Alicia won't be there or I wouldn't get any cake at all.  *:)) laughing

Tasty Tuesday Chocolate Cherry Cake!

First of all...

Happy Birthday, Ana! 

Sorry there aren't any balloons or buns, but I do have a good birthday recipe to share. I tried it out after having a piece of this cake at a restaurant, but I've only made it once and didn't take a picture. Basically, you substitute the water and oil the cake mix calls for with a can of cherry pie filling. It's incredibly good and moist!

Chocolate Cherry Cake

1 box chocolate cake mix
1 can cherry pie filling
2 eggs
I noticed some other versions calling for a tsp of either vanilla extract or almond extract. You can add it if you like, but I'm not sure it needs it.

Mix by hand and pour into a greased and floured 9 X 13 pan. Bake at 350 for 30-35 min or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Frost when cooled. I used chocolate icing, but I'm thinking cream cheese would be incredibly good on this.

Enjoy!
