I was looking at a recipe on this site, decided to get creative and this is what I came up with. My son loves his chocolate, I had cherries that I didn't want to go bad, and went with other things that I had on hand, thought they would go together...and this is what I came up with. Smells wonderful when it is cooking. It doesn't taste real sweet,

Tips:

  • Use fresh cherries. Fresh cherries will give your cake the best flavor. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use frozen cherries that have been thawed and drained.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing the batter will make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a springform pan. A springform pan will make it easy to remove the cake from the pan after it has baked.
  • Let the cake cool completely before inverting it. If you try to invert the cake while it is still warm, it will fall apart.
  • Serve the cake with whipped cream or ice cream. Whipped cream or ice cream will help to balance out the sweetness of the cake.
