This is an easy cake to make. Baking time is only 15 minutes. I love the combination of chocolate and cherry, or chocolate and Stawberry together. I combined the cake with a whipped cream frosting and a pudding cream cheese layer. I gave the option of making the cake with a fresh strawberry filling or a canned cherry pie filling. This is a really delicious cake. It is creamy and decadent. It is also a delicious ending to any meal. We love it. I hope you enjoy it as well!
