CHOCOLATE-CHERRY BROWNIE CAKE



Chocolate-Cherry Brownie Cake image

My grandmother taught me the tricks to making this cake, and I've added my own special touches. The melted chocolate keeps the icing from being too dry and gives it a texture similar to chocolate ice cream. I have more requests for the icing than I do anything else! -Susan Hayes, Massapequa, New York
