Great cake made with Cheerwine.
Ingredients
Frosting
- 1/3 cup cherry-flavored soft drink (such as Cheerwine®)
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon almond extract
- cooking spray
- 1 (15.25 ounce) package yellow cake mix (such as Duncan Hines®)
- 1 cup cherry-flavored soft drink (such as Cheerwine®)
- 3 large eggs
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon almond extract
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Combine cake mix, cherry soft drink, eggs, oil, and almond extract in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Increase speed to medium and beat for 2 minutes. Pour batter into the prepared cake pan.
Step 3
Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 23 to 28minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
Step 4
Combine cherry soft drink, butter, and cocoa powder in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Stir and remove from heat.
Step 5
Place powdered sugar into a bowl and pour hot cherry mixture on top. Mix until smooth. Stir in almond extract and allow to cool frosting lightly. Spread over the cake.
