This cake I am featuring today, Cherry Vanilla Cake, is super moist, super flavorful and super delicious! It combines vanilla cake mix with cherry jello and then you mix up a tasty cherry buttercream frosting.

Cherry Vanilla Cake

When you take a bite the flavors come to life in your mouth, I am not kidding, the flavors explode in your mouth and it’s sooooo moist and soooooo delicious.

YUM

I will not lie, after I ate my first piece, I had to have a second piece right away. Needless to say, I skipped dinner that night or I guess I had cake for dinner and that’s Ok to do sometimes.

Cherry Vanilla Cake

The cherry in the frosting comes from cherry juice added to the buttercream and it gives the frosting a pretty pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day.

It’s a big cake!

Reserve 1 tablespoon JELL-O mix for frosting and add remaining mix to remaining cake batter. Stir just till well blended. Spoon batter into bundt pan over the top of your white batter. Do not fill bundt pan past 2/3 full. If you have batter left over, make them into cupcakes.
Bake cake for 45-55 minutes (cupcakes for 19-22 minutes). Test for doneness using a toothpick. Remove from oven and let cake cool in pan for 20 minutes before inverting onto plate to cool completely.
For the frosting, mix together the butter and cream cheese until smooth. Dissolve the 1 tbsp. of jello in the cherry juice and mix until incorporated, then add to the butter and cream cheese mixture and combine. Add the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until blended making sure you don’t over mix or the frosting will become too thin. Frost the cake and let set before you cut and serve the cake.
Store cake in the refrigerator.

Notes

If you can't find vanilla cake mix use a white cake mix and add 4 tsp. vanilla to the recipe.

Espresso Brownies with White Chocolate Frosting

The base of the Espresso Brownies with White Chocolate Frosting is a decadent brownie with cocoa powder and coffee granules.

I love the fact that there is as much frosting as there is brownie.

I think my favorite part of this recipe is the frosting, there is melted chocolate added to the butter cream, it is the best!

I used Starbuck's Via for the instant coffee, a dark blend, so the coffee taste is very intense.If you don't care for the taste of espresso you can eliminate the coffee granules.
