Chocolate Cherry Cake with Super-Moist Crumb! by Alyona's Cooking September 28, 2019 written by Alyona's Cooking September 28, 2019 Jump to RecipeThis chocolate cherry cake has a SUPER-MOIST crumb! It can be referred to the snowflake cherry cake and gets requested at Russian and Ukrainian Weddings! If cakes get requested for special occasions you know they’re good! You might see this kind of chocolate cherry cake at a Russian wedding, engagement or bridal party. It gets the snowflake name from the excess crumb decoration resembling “chocolate” snow flakes. You don’t need any cake skills when making this type of cake the crumbs do a good job of concealing any imperfections and gives this cake an even more moistened look. The Sour cherries both soak and boost up the cake flavor and the dulce de leche tops everything off! I love this cake so much! Even if you’re not fond of cherries make the cake layer itself! How to make Chocolate Cherry Cake for a crowd:I’ve found that the most efficient way to make this is to double the cake recipe and pour into a 21×15 pan. Trim edges (for crumb decoration) and cut into 4 equal pieces. This will make 4 one-layered cakes or 2 two-layered cakes that you can freeze for later. It’s such an easy way to feed a crowd or keep some cake layers stashed for those unexpected guests. The single frosting recipe is enough for the doubled version or makes a generous amount of frosting for one cake. Baking this way makes it easy for cake sellers who take lots of orders;) 3.67 from 3 votesChocolate Cherry Cake with Super-Moist Crumb!Prep Time: 20 minutesCook Time: 20 minutesTotal Time: 40 minutesServings: 1 2 layered cakeCalories: 5670kcalAuthor: Alyona's CookingThis chocolate cherry cake has a SUPER-MOIST crumb!
