Ingredients

  • 1 package (18-1/4 ounces) fudge marble cake mix
  • 1-1/4 cups plus 3 tablespoons strong brewed coffee, divided
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 jar (10 ounces) maraschino cherries without stems, well drained
  • 1/3 cup brandy
  • 1/4 cup cherry preserves
  • 1 cup canned chocolate frosting
  • 4 pounds milk chocolate candy coating, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons shortening

Directions

  • In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, cocoa packet, 1-1/4 cups coffee, oil and eggs; beat on low speed for 30 seconds. Beat on medium for 2 minutes. Pour batter into a greased and floured 13-in. x 9-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool completely.
  • Place cherries in a food processor; cover and process until coarsely chopped. Transfer to a small bowl; stir in the brandy, preserves and remaining coffee. Crumble cake into a large bowl. Add frosting and cherry mixture; beat well. Shape into 1-in. balls.
  • In a microwave, melt candy coating and shortening; stir until smooth. Dip balls in chocolate mixture; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper; let stand until set. Store in an airtight container overnight before serving. Yield: 6 dozen.
