Chocolate Cherry Upside Down Cake is a rich and indulgent dessert featuring juicy cherries caramelized beneath a moist, decadent chocolate cake.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
  2. Pour the melted butter into the bottom of the pan and sprinkle evenly with brown sugar.
  3. Arrange the cherries evenly over the brown sugar layer.
  4. In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. In another bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  6. Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, beating well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  7. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the buttermilk, beginning and ending with dry ingredients.
  8. Pour the batter over the cherries in the pan and spread evenly.
  9. Bake for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  10. Let the cake cool for 10 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use fresh cherries when in season for the best flavor.
  • Make sure to invert the cake while it’s still warm to avoid sticking.
  • Top with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat.
