Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh or frozen pitted cherries
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cherries and granulated sugar. Let them sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
- Pour the melted butter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly across the bottom. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the melted butter.
- Arrange the cherries evenly over the brown sugar in the pan.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mix the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Pour the batter over the cherries in the cake pan, spreading it evenly.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Then, carefully invert it onto a serving plate, so the cherries are on top.
Notes
- For an extra layer of flavor, add 1/2 teaspoon of almond extract to the batter.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a delightful dessert.
