How to Make Cherry Chocolate Cake With Fudge Frosting

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, vanilla extract, and buttermilk.
  4. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips.
  6. Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  7. Bake for 55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Once the cake is completely cool, frost with your favorite chocolate fudge frosting (recipe #281675 recommended).
