As cherry season is here, this chocolate cherry cake is a delightful way of using cherries in your desserts. It takes less than 30 minutes to bake on the stovetop and the result is unbelievable. This moist, chocolatey cake bursting with cherries on top is simply hard to resist. The best way to serve it is while still a bit warm with a good dollop of ice cream on top and melted chocolate drizzle.
The recipe is really easy and quick with amazing results each time you make it. First you need to prepare the chocolate cake batter. It is essential to use a good quality cocoa powder for this recipe. I love the rum, chocolate and cherry combination, so, rum can not be missed from this recipe. It really enhances the cherry flavor.
Once the batter is prepared you simply need to melt some butter and sugar on stovetop, add the cherries and pour the chocolate cake batter on top. Cover and cook over low heat for about 20 minutes until cooked through and the cherries soften.
