Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake with Cherry Sauce

July 25, 2016 By Betsy Cohen

Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake with Cherry Sauce is a dessert that takes full advantage of the gorgeous cherries available right now. A must make recipe!

Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake with Cherry Sauce


I don’t want to sound redundant but have I mentioned how much I love summer fruits?  Dark, firm cherries are amongst my favorites and even though the season is short, I always manage to take advantage of it while it lasts.

Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake has a deep dark chocolate cake and the cut up cherries add a lovely not-too-sweet taste.  Tossing cherries with a bit of flour just before adding them to the batter prevents them from dropping to the bottom of the cake.

The cherry sauce is outrageous and I strongly recommend serving it with the cake.  However, I must admit that the cake on its own is out of this world.  I know, may this be our biggest conflict.

One other note worth adding, I dusted my pan with turbinado sugar but cocoa powder would work well, too.

Author: Betsy Cohen
Prep time: 40 mins
Cook time: 1 hour
Total time: 1 hour 40 mins
Serves: 8-10
Ingredients
  • Chocolate cherry bundt cake:
  • 1¼ cups (155 grams) cherries
  • 2 cups (280 grams) + 1 tablespoon (8 grams) all purpose flour, divided
  • 4 tablespoons (27 grams) cocoa powder
  • ½ teaspoon (3 grams) baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon (2 grams) salt
  • 12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups (437 grams) sugar
  • 3 eggs
  • ¾ cup (185 grams) sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1¼ cups (205 grams) chocolate chips
  • Cherry sauce:
  • 2¼ cups (308 grams) cherries
  • 6 tablespoons (80 grams) water
  • ⅓ cup (76 grams) sugar
  • 2 teaspoons (5 grams) cornstarch
Instructions
  1. For the chocolate cherry bundt cake:
  2. Butter a 10 cup bundt pan and dust it with turbinado sugar.
  3. Pit the cherries and cut them into quarters. Set aside.
  4. Whisk together 2 cups of flour with the cocoa powder, baking soda and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  5. Place the butter and sugar into a large mixing bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy, about three minutes, scraping the bowl down as needed. Add the eggs, one at a time. Blend in half of the dry ingredients followed by the sour cream and vanilla. Add in the remaining dry ingredients. Stir in the chocolate chips.
  6. Place the cut cherries into a plastic bag. Toss with the remaining tablespoon of flour.
  7. Fold the cherries into the batter.
  8. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan.
  9. Bake at 325° for 50-55 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
  10. Cover the pan with a cooling rack and flip the pan upside down. Remove the pan and cool.
  11. For the cherry sauce:
  12. Pit the cherries and place them into a medium size saucepan with the water, sugar and cornstarch. Cook over medium low heat. Once the mixture boils, cover the pan and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. A wooden spoon will leave a line when pulled through the sauce. Remove from the heat and serve hot, room temperature or cold.

About Betsy

Happylicious By Betsy December 2015 lo res I have loved desserts for as long as I can remember. Growing up I loved the smell of freshly baked challah in my maternal great-grandmother’s kitchen, the incredible butter cookies from my paternal grandmother and the perfect pies my mother used to bake when company came over.
