Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake
Gugelhupf in Germany - Bundt Cake in the USA. Always an airy, delicious thing with coffee and tea. Easy and quick to make, even easier and faster to eat 😉
Ingredients
For the dough:
- 6 eggs
- 7 ounces (200 grams) sugar
- 1 pinch of salt
- 8.8 ounces (250 grams) unsalted butter, soft
- 5.1 ounces (150 milliliters) cherry juice *
- 8.8 ounces (250 grams) cherries **
- 6.3 ounces (180 grams) cake flour
- 2.8 ounces (80 grams) baking cocoa powder
- 4 teaspoons baking powder ***
For glazing:
- 200 g dark chocolate couverture
- 2 teaspoons of coconut oil
Instructions
- Grease a Bundt pan and set aside.
- Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites into egg white foam and set aside.
- Beat butter, sugar, egg yolks, and salt until creamy and gradually stir in the cherry juice.
- Then stir in cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder.
- When everything is well mixed, fold in the egg whites loosely with a whisk.
- Finally, carefully pull the drained cherries under the batter.
- Now fill the dough into the Bundt pan and bake at 360 °F (180 °C) for 60 minutes. The cake is ready when no more dough sticks to a toothpick.
- Let the cake cool down in the cake pan for about 10 minutes, then it will be easier to remove from the pan.
- As soon as the cake has cooled down completely, you can glaze it or dust it with powdered sugar.
- Melt the chocolate over a water bath and mix it with 2 teaspoons of coconut oil (this gives it a nice shine).
- Pour the glaze over the cooled cake. I kept catching the overflowing chocolate and pouring it over the cake again until all the chocolate was used up.
Notes
* Drained juice from the glass of cherries, or extra cherry juice if you use fresh or frozen cherries.
** I mostly take cherries out of the jar, or here in America, they have frozen cherries too if there are no fresh cherries available.
*** For Germans, it's one package baking powder
