Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield 12 clusters

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup toasted almonds, coarsely chopped
1/2 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
6 ounces dark chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, toss together the almonds and the cherries. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper.
  • Melt half the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over slightly simmering water, over the lowest possible heat, stirring frequently. Make sure the water is not touching the top pan. Remove the double boiler from the heat and stir in the rest of the chocolate. Remove the top pan with the chocolate in it, gently wipe the bottom of it and set it aside for a moment. Replace the simmering water in the bottom pan with warm tap water. Put the pan of melted chocolate on top of the warm water. This will keep the chocolate at the right temperature while you make the clusters.
  • Stir the fruit-nut mixture into the chocolate. Spoon out heaping tablespoon-sized clusters of the chocolate mixture onto the baking sheet about 1-inch apart. Put them in the refrigerator to set for 15 minutes. Store and serve at room temperature.

CHOCOLATE-CHERRY CAKE



Chocolate-Cherry Cake image

Topped with a pompadour of airy whipped cream frosting - which tastes comfortingly of hot cocoa - this cake is reminiscent of Black Forest gâteau but with more chocolaty depth. The cake's dark chocolate flavor is enhanced by Dutch-processed cocoa powder, which produces a much deeper, Oreo-like chocolaty taste than natural unsweetened cocoa powder. A glossy, cherry-red layer of preserves keeps the crumb moist and tender, and a splash of almond extract evokes the aromatic bittersweetness of kirsch or maraschino cherries (cherries are, after all, in the same family as almonds). Don't forget the actual cherries on top; they'll make you happy.

Provided by Eric Kim

Categories     cakes, dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup/118 milliliters extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for greasing pan
1 1/4 cups/250 grams granulated sugar
1 cup/128 grams all-purpose flour
1/2 cup/56 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 large eggs
3/4 cup/180 milliliters whole milk
1 teaspoon pure almond extract
1/2 teaspoon coarse kosher salt or 3/4 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1 cup/305 grams cherry preserves (see Tip)
1/4 cup/50 grams granulated sugar
1/4 cup/28 grams Dutch-processed cocoa powder
Pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup boiling hot water
2 cups/473 milliliters cold heavy whipping cream
Fresh red cherries, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the cake: Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square baking pan with olive oil.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the sugar, flour, cocoa powder and baking powder until evenly distributed and no lumps remain. To a separate large bowl, add the 1/2 cup oil, eggs, milk, almond extract and salt and whisk until smooth, at least 30 seconds. Gently whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until the last streak of flour disappears.
  • Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and tap gently against the counter to pop excess air bubbles. Bake until a skewer or cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 40 minutes. Let cool completely in the pan.
  • Microwave the cherry preserves in a small bowl in 30-second intervals or in a small saucepan over medium heat until looser and slightly liquidy. Spread the preserves evenly over the cooled cake.
  • Make the frosting: In a large bowl, combine the sugar, cocoa powder and salt and pour over the hot water. Either by hand or with an electric mixer, whisk until smooth. Add the heavy cream and continue whisking until billowy soft peaks form. When you turn the whisk upside-down, a peak of cream should flop over slightly like a Santa hat. Spread the frosting over the cake and, if using, garnish with the cherries. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate chunks for the best flavor. Chop up a chocolate bar if you don't have pre-made chunks.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent spreading.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Let the cookies cool on a wire rack before enjoying them.
