Description

This cherry Bundt cake is an absolute classic that should not be missing on any coffee table! The juicy dark cherries and the delicate chocolate chips harmonize perfectly with the fluffy dough. I particularly like to bake it in spring when the first cherries are ripe. It is not only visually appealing, but also tastes simply delicious. The Bundt cake is ideal for a cozy brunch or as a sweet surprise for a birthday. A piece of childhood memory, reinterpreted!

About this recipe

The cherry Bundt cake, for me, is more than just a cake. It reminds me of my childhood, of Sundays at my grandma's, where this juicy cake was always on the table. The Bundt cake itself has a long tradition that dates back to the Middle Ages. Originally, it was a festive pastry that was often baked for special occasions. And even today, it is a symbol of coziness and enjoyment. The ingredients play a crucial role in this cake. The dark cherries, with their slightly sour taste, form a wonderful contrast to the sweetness of the dough. It is important to drain them well so that the dough does not become too moist. The flour provides the structure, the baking powder for the looseness. The butter, at room temperature, gives the cake its juiciness and delicate taste. The chocolate chips, I prefer to use bittersweet, bring an additional flavor dimension into play. They melt slightly during baking and spread throughout the cake, creating small, chocolatey surprises. When preparing with the Thermomix®, it is important to add the ingredients in the correct order. First, beat the butter, sugar and vanilla sugar until frothy so that the cake becomes nice and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix well. It is best to mix the flour and baking powder beforehand so that the baking powder is evenly distributed. Add the milk alternately with the flour to avoid lumps. Carefully fold in the chocolate chips so that they do not break. And very importantly: dust the cherries with flour before folding them in so that they do not sink to the bottom of the mold. Grease the Bundt cake mold thoroughly with butter and dust with flour so that the cake can be easily turned out after baking. Variations are of course possible. If you like it a little fruitier, you can also add a few chopped almonds or hazelnuts to the dough. For a vegan version, you can replace the butter with margarine and the eggs with an egg substitute. Instead of cow's milk, you can also use almond or soy milk. If you like it a little spicier, you can add a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the dough. The cherry Bundt cake is best served lukewarm or cooled. A cup of coffee or tea goes well with it. If you like, you can also sprinkle it with some powdered sugar or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream. A scoop of vanilla ice cream is also a great addition. The cherry Bundt cake stays fresh for a few days, well packaged. You can also prepare it well and freeze it. Simply let it thaw before serving. So you always have a delicious cake for unexpected visitors.
