Gluten Free Sour Cherry Chocolate Cake Recipe
Chocolate Cherry Flourless Cake is a very easy, gluten-free cake recipe with just a few ingredients. Maybe it's better to say brownie rather than cake, but it's not exactly a brownie because it doesn't contain flour. After all, because brownie is a kind of cake, it is not wrong to call this recipe cake in the most general terms.
The sour cherry chocolate flourless cake recipe is not a new recipe for the blog. Only the sour cherries are new. The recipe is the same as the flourless chocolate cake recipe I've shared before. I just added sour cherries in it. In this way, it became a more fresh and more summery recipe for me.
When I added the sour cherries, I did two things to prevent them from sinking to the bottom. First, I cut the sour cherries into small pieces. Then I used the method I used in the chocolate chip cake recipe to prevent them sinking to the bottom. Thanks to these two methods, the sour cherry pieces were evenly distributed all over the cake, they did not accumulate in one place and turn it into mud, and the cake did not crumble while slicing.
Fruit cakes are more likely to remain wet than desired due to the wetness of the fruit. It may be thought that this would not be a problem in a cake that needs to be wet already, but this is not true. If there is more than enough wet ingredients in a wet cake, the cake will be wet and even more muddy. This prevents it from being beautifully sliced and served.
You can use any red/purple soft fruit you want instead of sour cherries in the recipe. Only if they are large in size, you should be careful to use them by cutting them into small pieces as in the case of sour cherries.
You can serve the gluten free sour cherry chocolate cake plain or with any kind of ice cream you want.
