Cherries are one of the most desirable fruits in our family since they are the first fruit on the trees in our garden, but they are also the sign that summer is coming. Traditionally in June we are picking cherries but also making delicious jams and different desserts.
Today I'm sharing with you a very simple recipes for a delicious chocolate cake with cherries.
- 180 g sugar
- 4 eggs
- 100 g almond flour or ground almonds
- 100 g dark/milk chocolate
- 200 g butter
- 1 spoon of cinnamon
- 6 g baking powder
Mix the eggs and the sugar until they are foamy. I鈥檝e used brown sugar, but of course can be done also with white one. In the original recipes (that I鈥檝e copied form my mum), there is 180g of sugar, I鈥檝e put 130 g (since we don鈥檛 like very suite cakes).
Melt the butter and chocolate over the steam (I simply use a pot with hot water and s second pot positioned over the water), and let it cool a bit.
Pour the melted butter and chocolate into the eggs and sugar mixture. Stir a little bit, so that the mixture is homogeneous.
Don鈥檛 forget to add the spoon of cinnamon (if you don鈥檛 like it, you can also skip this part).
Than add the almond flour. Add the flour mixed with baking powder.
Grease the pan.
Pour the mixture into a greased baking pan so that the cake is evenly risen.
And finally place the pitted cherries on the top.
Bake in a preheated oven, for 30 minutes at 180藲C.
Voil脿, a simple and tasty cake is ready.
