Chocolate Cherry Cake
“Sorry I was so slow to answer. Busy and will write more later.” — An octogenarian response to a request for Jack McNaughton’s chocolate cherry cake recipe. Busy! Sheesh! 🙂
Anyway, when was the last time I asked for the recipe for Jack’s cake and how many times have I asked for it and why the heck can’t I hang on to the damn thing. Actually, I think it was about a year and a half ago and it was probably about the third time and I guess it’s probably buried in an email message on the old dead strawberry iMac. One time I actually tried to make it without the recipe but that was less than perfect, to say the least. I can read a recipe if I don’t get distracted in the middle of it but usually if I need dessert for something, I recruit Mouse. But her specialties are pie and cheesecake and this time I need Jack’s cake. Maybe if I blog the damn thing, I won’t lose it again, do ya think? Recipe from Fran below with my editorial comments in “[]”.
