Cherry Coke Chocolate Cake

For the Dotson Thanksgiving, I made a new recipe from the Tasty Kitchen website. And it was REALLY good!  I have plans to make it again, but this time doubling the amount of cherries to the cake.  Here's the recipe below if you'd like to try it.  Also, when I made the frosting, I added a little cherry juice to add flavor and color to the frosting.   Here is the link to Tasty Kitchen, go on over there and check out their yummy recipes!  http://tastykitchen.com/
