Ingredients
- ½ cup butter softened
- 1 cup sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1 pinch of salt
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1-⅓ cup almond meal/flour
- 2.5 ounces dark chocolate finely chopped or grated (see instructions)
- 1 glass sour cherries drained (about 350 g / 12 ounces)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating the oven to 350°F/180°C. Next, ensure your 10-inch/26cm round cake pan is well-prepared with grease, flour, and lining.
- Begin by creaming the softened butter and sugar until it's light in texture. Then, add the eggs one at a time, ensuring you beat the mixture after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together all the dry ingredients. Finally, combine the dry ingredients with the wet mixture.
- Finally, fold in the drained cherries and chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Chill the cake in the pan for 30 minutes, then flip it onto a large plate, and finally, place it right side up on a wire rack.
- Chill thoroughly, dust with powdered sugar, and optionally serve with a dollop of vanilla whipped cream. Store covered for up to a week.
