How to Make Chocolate Cherry Nut Holiday Glazed Loaf Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour an 8x4 inch or 9x5 inch loaf pan.
- In a large bowl, combine the following liquid ingredients: 1 cup milk, 1/2 cup vegetable oil, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Add 1 (15.25 ounce) package of chocolate cake mix, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 cup chopped pecans, and 1 cup maraschino cherries (drained).
- Stir gently by hand until all ingredients are thoroughly combined and no dry ingredients remain. Do not overmix.
- Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
- Bake for 65-80 minutes for an 8x4 inch pan, or 60-70 minutes for a 9x5 inch pan, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 15 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely on the wire rack.
- **Prepare the Glaze:** In a small saucepan over low heat, melt 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup, stirring constantly until smooth and glossy.
- Drizzle the glaze evenly over the cooled cake, allowing it to set completely before serving. For best results, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze to fully set.
