The pecan icing on this cake is amazing! And, the cherry-berry cake itself is super easy and moist. There are bursts of cherry in each bite. You can taste the bits of sweet coconut too. Serve this lovely cake for a sweet ending to your meal!

How To Make cherry-berry cake
-
1Combine the first three ingredients for the cake in large mixing bowl with mixer until moist and well incorporated.
-
2Next fold in the coconut and pecans.
-
3Pour the batter into a 9x13 baking pan that has been lightly sprayed with a vegetable oil spray.
-
4Bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
-
5In the microwave and microwave-safe bowl, heat the strawberry preserves until hot and bubbly...1-2 minutes depending on your oven.
-
6Stir rapidly with a fork.
-
7Then drizzle over the cake while still hot from the oven. Set the cake aside and allow to completely cool.
-
8Frosting: Cream together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth with mixer.
-
9Add powdered sugar 1 cup at a time until smooth.
-
10Add milk 1 tablespoon at a time until the frosting is a good consistency to spread.
-
11Next fold in the pecans.
-
12Then frost the completely cooled cake. Cover the cake and allow it to stand at least a few hours before serving to allow for moistness to build. The longer this cake sits the better it gets!
