    Cheerwine

    If you are not from the South, you might not have heard of Cheerwine. Cheerwine is a beloved Southern soda that is actually produced here in North Carolina. It has a deep Burgundy color like "wine" and offers mild sweet notes of cherries; hence it is called Cheerwine. There is no actual alcohol in this soda.

     Cheerwine Cake 

    Every year my husband's entire extended family gets together for a week a Myrtle Beach. My husband's cousin, Jennifer Stimpson always brings her famous Cheerwine cake. (She is the same cousin that makes that really good Cranberry Apple Casserole!!!) 

    I can't keep my hands out of that cake. My hands have a mind of their own and  come back for more and more slices. That Cheerwine Cake literally will disappear in seconds in our gatherings because everyone in our family wants to eat it.

    The Cheerwine Cake is amazing by itself. But in our family, we love frosting. This white chocolate cherry frosting will rock your world. You can reuse the frosting on other cakes. It is really fantastic.

    My Cheerwine Cakes have never turned out quite as good as Jennifer's. I think she sprinkles a bit of magic fairy dust on hers. If you can't get Cheerwine, you could substitute Cherry Coke. It won't be the same, but it will be close.
