Cómo preparar Chocolate Cherry Fruitcake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- One day before baking: In a medium bowl, toss 16 ounces (2 cups) fresh or frozen pitted cherries with 1/4 cup of your favorite liquor (such as brandy, rum, or bourbon). Cover and refrigerate to macerate.
- Grease two 9-inch loaf pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper and dust with cocoa powder.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- In a separate large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 3/4 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 4 large eggs and 1 large egg yolk, one at a time, followed by 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients in three additions, alternating with two additions of 1 cup buttermilk or plain yogurt, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Gently fold in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the macerated cherries.
- Divide the batter evenly between the prepared loaf pans.
- Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cakes cool in the pans for 15 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once completely cool, use a skewer to poke about 50 holes in each cake. Drizzle 3 tablespoons of liquor over each cake (optional, omit if freezing).
- Store well-wrapped at room temperature for up to a week. Cakes can be frozen; add liquor after thawing and warming.
