How to Make Chocolate Maraschino Cherry Cake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, sift together 2 cups all-purpose flour and 1 teaspoon baking soda.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time. Stir in 1 cup melted unsweetened chocolate, ½ cup chopped nuts (almonds recommended), 1 cup maraschino cherries, and 2 tablespoons cherry juice.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients and 1 cup buttermilk to the wet ingredients, alternating between the two and beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
- Divide batter evenly between the prepared pans.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let cakes cool in pans for 10 minutes before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cool, frost with your favorite chocolate ganache.
