How to Make Choco Cherry Upside Down Cake

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9x13 inch baking pan.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine the cherries, sugar, and butter. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the cherries are slightly softened (about 5-7 minutes).
  3. Pour the cherry mixture into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
  4. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, oil, sugar, and vanilla extract.
  6. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  7. Pour the batter over the cherry mixture in the pan and spread evenly.
  8. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving plate. Serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
