It’s been and is a busy week for me. To many things both at work and home. But a quick drop to share the recipe of the chocolate cherry cake I baked last weekend and 3/4 of the cake got gobbled the same day by the hubby and daughter. With the Man being a complete chocolate lover and the little one, call her a cherry-berry girl.
Over to the recipe , this is egg less moist cake with the cherries to bite into. It also doesn’t use butter, instead its Vegetable oil.
You need –
Chocolate Cherry Cake
All-purpose flour – 1 1/2 cups
Caster sugar – 3/4 cup
cocoa powder – 1/3 cup
baking soda – 1 teaspoon
salt – 1/2 teaspoon
vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
lemon juice – 2 teaspoons
vegetable oil – 1/3 cup
water – 1 cup
Cherries- pitted and halved, 2 cups
How to –
Preheat oven to 180C. Grease a 8-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, sift together the flour,cocoa, baking soda and salt. Add sugar and mix.
Add the vanilla extract, Lemon juice, oil, and water. Using a spatula, mix the batter until smooth. Stir in the cherries.
Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 40 -45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool to room temperature.

It's stunning and I have a strong love for cherries but not for chocs. I like eggless cake very much and ok,came back home early today, wrote down the ingredients and baking time but I will use pineapples inside.

Ahh.. U shud be definitely happy na Rekha that she loves fruits in the raw form.. I wish me & my man were like that.. It's very difficult to feed us certain fruits in the raw form.. There comes recipes like this for our rescue.. Love the dark texture of the cake.. Anything for chocolate & if fruit is in it, I am all the more happy person !!
