Chocolate Cherry Cake Dairy Free Recipes

CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE (DAIRY-FREE)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F/180C and grease an 8x8-inch pan.
• In a small bowl, whisk together hot water and cocoa powder until smooth. Set aside to let cool slightly until warm.
• In a large bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
• In another medium bowl, mix together eggs, oil, vanilla extract, and water-cocoa mixture. Add egg mixture into flour mixture and mix with a rubber spatula just until combined. Do not overmix-the less you mix, the lighter the cake will be.
• In a small bowl toss cherries with 2 teaspoons flour in order to prevent cherries from sinking during baking. Add cherries and chocolate chips to cake batter and fold just until combined.
• Scrape batter into prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean (repeat testing if your toothpick runs into a cherry). Allow cake to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Dust the top with powdered sugar or top with chocolate ganache. Serve at room temperature.
• Cake can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
