Cherry Chocolate Chip Cake #dessert #babyshowercake

This cake would've been ideal for commending an infant young lady shower, really. So pink! What's more, I cherish me some pink!

I'd been needing to complete a cherry chocolate chip cake for some time. I began off utilizing crisp fruits since they are so in season and on special, yet they simply didn't loan the sort of flavor I needed. It was additionally considerably more unpretentious and I truly do incline toward a more grounded flavor.

So I wound up running with maraschino fruits. I think it was a decent call. The cake is delectable! The cherry and chocolate chips go extraordinary together. I utilized smaller than expected chocolate chips and would prescribe them. I think customary estimated chocolate chips may be excessively much and overwhelm the cherry.
