Categories     dessert

Time 1h25m

Yield 6 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 14

12 maraschino cherries
1 cup all-purpose flour, plus more for coating the cherries
1 cup sugar
1/8 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup buttermilk
2 tablespoons cherry syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 stick (8 tablespoons) salted butter
2 heaping tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 ounces semisweet chocolate, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • For the cakes: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Chop 6 of the maraschino cherries and toss with a small amount of flour to coat in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the flour, sugar and salt and set aside. In another bowl, mix the buttermilk, cherry syrup, baking soda, vanilla and egg with a fork and set aside.
  • Bring 1 cup water to a boil in a small pan. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat; add the cocoa and whisk to combine. Add the boiling water to the cocoa mixture and allow to bubble for a moment, then turn off the heat.
  • Pour the cocoa mixture into the flour mixture. Stir together for a moment to cool the chocolate, then pour in the egg mixture. Mix in the flour-coated cherries.
  • Divide the batter among the cavities of a 6-cavity nonstick mini Bundt pan and bake until an inserted cake tester comes out clean, 20 to 25 minutes. Let the cakes cool in the pan briefly before removing them to a cooling rack placed over a baking sheet.
  • For the chocolate ganache: Heat the cream in a small saucepan until very hot, then add the vanilla. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate in a heatproof bowl; stir completely to melt the chocolate.
  • Pour the ganache over the cakes. Chop the remaining 6 cherries and sprinkle them over the top. Allow the ganache to set before serving.

Tips:

  • Use room temperature ingredients: This will help the ingredients blend together more easily and create a smoother batter.
  • Cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy: This will incorporate air into the batter and make the cake lighter.
  • Gradually add the eggs one at a time: This will help prevent the batter from curdling.
  • Mix in the dry ingredients in three additions, alternating with the buttermilk: This will help prevent the batter from becoming too dry or lumpy.
  • Fill the bundt pan only two-thirds full: The cake will rise as it bakes and you don't want it to overflow.
  • Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
  • Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a wire rack: This will help prevent the cake from breaking.
  • Dust the cake with powdered sugar or glaze it with your favorite frosting: This will add a touch of sweetness and make the cake look even more delicious.
