The Ingredients
For the cherry topping:
Fresh or frozen pitted cherries (sweet or tart, depending on your preference)
Brown sugar
Unsalted butter
For the chocolate cake:
All-purpose flour
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Baking powder & baking soda
Salt
Eggs
Granulated sugar
Buttermilk (or milk + vinegar as a substitute)
Vegetable oil
Vanilla extract
Hot water or hot coffee (to intensify the chocolate flavor)
Step-by-Step Directions
1. Prepare the pan:
Melt butter and brown sugar in the bottom of a cake pan to create a caramel-like base. Arrange the cherries evenly over the mixture.
2. Mix the batter:
Whisk together the dry ingredients in one bowl and the wet ingredients in another. Combine both, then carefully stir in hot water or coffee to create a smooth, pourable batter.
3. Assemble and bake:
Pour the chocolate batter gently over the cherry layer. Bake until the cake is firm and a toothpick comes out clean.
4. The flip:
Let the cake cool slightly, then carefully invert it onto a serving platter. The cherries, now glistening and slightly caramelized, will crown the cake beautifully.
