UPSIDE DOWN CHOCOLATE CHERRY CAKE

Upside Down Chocolate Cherry Cake image

I was looking at a recipe on this site, decided to get creative and this is what I came up with. My son loves his chocolate, I had cherries that I didn't want to go bad, and went with other things that I had on hand, thought they would go together...and this is what I came up with. Smells wonderful when it is cooking. It doesn't taste real sweet,

Tips:

Choose the right pan: Use a 9-inch round cake pan that is at least 2 inches deep. A deeper pan will prevent the cake from overflowing while baking.
Prepare the cherries: Pit and halve the cherries. You can use fresh or frozen cherries. If using frozen cherries, thaw them completely before using.
Make the chocolate ganache: Combine the chocolate chips and heavy cream in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Assemble the cake: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour the cake pan. In a large bowl, combine the cake mix, eggs, milk, and oil. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, or until well combined. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
Bake the cake: Bake the cake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Invert the cake: Place a large plate upside down over the cake pan. Holding the plate and pan together, carefully invert the cake onto the plate. Remove the pan.
Top the cake with cherries and ganache: Arrange the cherry halves on top of the cake. Pour the chocolate ganache over the cherries. Let the ganache cool and harden slightly before serving.
