Fudge Cake with Cherries and Pecans #CakeSliceBakers

Dense fudge brownie like cake studded with pecans and dried cherries. No frosting needed but a dollop of ice cream and hot fudge would certainly be delicious.

I love this cookbook. Not only do they make cakes that are downsized so you don't have a ton of leftovers but the recipes are easy peasy and turn out perfectly.  This cake was made by my Angel Face who is 6 almost 7.  Whoo doggie, I almost made a faux pas there.  It is very important to note that she is almost 7!!!

She was all about this cake until we added the pecans.  "I don't like pecans", she informed me, "and besides pecans make daddy's throat itch".  Well, okay then.  Mama, Grampy, Marissa and I will eat this cake and Duncan Hines came to the rescue with a boxed brownie mix that the Angel Face made for herself and daddy.

As for me, give me another slice of this fudgy, delicious cake studded with tons of pecan pieces and dried cherries.  Just Heavenly!!!
