It’s always cherry season somewhere in the world, so what’s better than a Cherry Chocolate Cake?
Chocolate, ground almonds and Cherries-this is guaranteed to be a fabulous combination! I was craving for this cake sooo long, and finally I did it.
What’s so great about the cherry chocolate cake?
Well, its prepared pretty quickly for once. And then the cake tastes even better the next day. Which makes it great to bring to work on a birthday or to any social event, tbh.
And it is so simple to prepare. As I am too lazy to pit my cherries, I buy them in a jar as they are already pitted. Way easier. And the fresh ones? I just eat all of them straight away when they are in season wherever I am! 🙂
If you bake the Cherry Chocolate Cake, let me know how it went!
