Chocolate-cherry-pecan cake (egg-less)



My friend, Sailu shared her egg-less chocolate cake recipe with me. I added cherries and pecans to the recipe and it just turned out yummy! I also added a spoonful of instant coffee powder to the ingredients. If you are coffee lover, you will love that addition.

Ingredients:

Heavy whipping cream                                        1 cup
Sugar                                                                  1 cup
All-purpose flour                                                  1 ½  cups
Baking powder                                                    1 tsp
Baking soda                                                         1 pinch
Vanilla extract                                                      3 drops
Instant coffee powder (optional)                           1 tsp
Hershey's cocoa powder (unsweetened)              3 tsp
cherries (canned/pie filling)                                   1 can
Pecan halves                                                        4 oz

 Method:

1. Pre-heat oven to 350 F.
2. Mix all the ingredients (except pecans and cherries) in a bowl using electric mixer or beat well with hands. (I prefer mixing with hands)
3. Add Pecans and cherries to the batter.
4. Pour the batter onto the baking pan and bake for 30 minutes. Poke knife into the cake and if it comes out clean, cake is ready.
5. Serve cool.
