This cake consists of the best ingredients of a traditional classic – the german “Schwarzwäler Kirsch Kuchen”. Reassambled to a new simple recipe for you – and of course – vegan.
A simple cake dough, some vanilla, cherries and chocolate chips and on top a blob of plantbased cream. This results in a tasty cherry cake with chocolate chips.
To be honest I was not in the mood to make a fancy cake but had all the ingredients. I wanted the cake quick and easy. After the cherries are pitted you just have to mix the dough. Put it intto the oven for 35 minutes. And have a nice cake break with a nice cherry cake with chocolate flakes and cream and a cherry on top!
If it is cherry season the fresh cherries are the best. But you get them already pitted as sour cherries all year long. The cherries are soft and sweet. So the best alternative to eating them fresh is to bake a cake. When using the cherries from the glass put them to a strainer and dry them carefully.
The juicy, soft dough with cherries and chocolate is really a delecate highlight. This classic combination is fine for everyone. And of course everyone can decide how many cream he wants on top.
Enjoy!
