Drummond says this is a “special” dessert that requires little effort. She uses a superhero shortcut to make her dark chocolate cherry loaf cake. Instead of making the cake from scratch, she uses boxed cake mix. Drummond says the best part of using a boxed mix is that you can add the ingredients you like and customize the recipe to fit your taste.
For the chocolate cake’s “add-in” ingredient, Drummond adds dark chocolate chips. For the frosting, she uses a pink frosting made from powdered sugar, milk, cherry preserves, and red food coloring. Drummond is a fan of this frosting because it contains cherry preserves, but it doesn’t have a strong cherry flavor. She warns home cooks against overdoing it with the cherries. After spreading the icing on the loaf cake, Drummond sprinkles chocolate chips on top. You can find the complete ingredients and directions here.
