Ingredients

1 cup pitted cherries

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

3 large eggs

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 cup granulated sugar

½ cup unsalted butter (melted)

½ cup milk

1 tsp vanilla extract

½ tsp salt

1 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan or line it with parchment paper.

  • Prepare the Wet Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, granulated sugar, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:

    • In another bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients:

    • Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  • Fold in the Chocolate Chips and Cherries:

    • Gently fold in the chocolate chips and pitted cherries into the batter, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

  • Bake the Cake:

    • Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top.

    • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (a few crumbs are fine, but no wet batter).

    • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely.

  • Serve and Enjoy:

    • Once cooled, slice and serve. You can dust the cake with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

Notes

Add a chocolate ganache topping for an extra rich experience.

Chopped nuts, like walnuts or almonds, can be added to the batter for extra crunch.

This recipe is also adaptable; swap cherries for raspberries or blueberries if you prefer.

For a gluten-free version, simply use a gluten-free all-purpose flour blend.
