Chocolate Cherry Cakes with Cinnamon
13 JunToday I have a really fantastic and surprisingly quick and simple cake recipe. Seeing as it’s full on cherry season over here I thought I’d bake something cherry inspired.
So the other day I donned my latex gloves and got to work pitting the cherries (I have a pretty serious allergy to cherries as you can read about here). I had even considered wearing goggles but I was expecting the delivery man and just couldn’t imagine what he’d think about the already weird Canadian women once he saw me in a get-up like that. And I’m happy to report that I got through the entire recipe with zero contact with the cherries and I didn’t end up looking like a monster as I did last year when I attempted the Cherry Lavender Jam. My kids still have nightmares about that.
These deep chocolate cakes paired with the tartness of the cherries and the delicate spiciness of the cinnamon ended up being a really delicious combination. I think these would be fantastic with raspberries, blackberries or even chopped peaches. I made them in individual miniature pans but it would be just as nice baked in a large tart pan as well.
