MOM'S SHERRY CAKE

Steps:

• (This recipe has three separate portions to combine together: the cake, the cinnamon mixture, and the frosting.) Combine cake ingredients and mix for 5 minutes in mixer on medium speed.
• Combine cinnamon mixture.
• Butter the sides and bottom of Bundt or angel food tin.
• Sprinkle part of cinnamon mixture into pan covering sides and bottom.
• Then pour cake batter into pan in three alternating layers with cinnamon mixture, ending with cinnamon mixture.
• Bake at 350°F for 35 to 40 minutes, checking to make sure the sugar on the outside of the cake does not burn.
• Let cool; place on serving plate.
• Mix together powdered sugar and enough milk to make a "drizzly" consistency of frosting, then drizzle over the sides (both inside and outsides).
• Let frosting set before serving.
• Note: if your oven runs hot, you might want to try baking for 35 minutes to begin with, then remove cake from oven and taste-check a portion of the cake which doesn't show easily (such as the inner ring) to make sure the sugar coating isn't burning and the cake isn't drying out.

SHERRY'S FAMOUS FUDGE CAKE

Steps:

• POKE HOLES IN CAKE WITH A WOODEN TOOTHPICK. THEN DRIZZLE THE MIXED INGREDIENTS OVER THE COOKED AND COOLED CHOCOLATE CAKE.
• MULTIPLE LAYERS WITH THE FUGDE FROSTING FILLING HELP MAKE THIS CAKE BE SUPER MOIST AND TASTE LIKE FUDGE THAT HAS CAKE INTEGRATED INTO IT. IT DOES NOT REALLY TASTE AT ALL LIKE CAKE ...BUT FUDGE. DO NOT LET THE FUDGE "SET" BEFORE PUTTING ON THE CAKE. THAT IS REALLY THE MAJOR SECRET. YOU CAN PUT SOME MARSHMALLOW CREME ON IT SEPARATELY FOR STUNNING LOOKS. THE WHITE AGAINST THE DEVILS FOOD DARK COLOR IS STUNNING AND MAKES A NICE PRESENTATION.
• YOU CAN SPRINKLE PECANS ON TOP FOR LOOKS. YOU CAN MAKE MULTIPLE LAYERS SO THE FUDGE FROSTING IS MORE INTEGRATED THROUGHOUT THE ACTUAL CAKE.
