Hello lovelies, here is a new cake recipe from me today: chocolate cake with zucchini and cherries! There are certain things that perfectly match with each other such as lemon and mint, strawberries and cream or in this case cherries and chocolate! I really like this combination and since we currently have lots of cherries, I had to create a recipe with them. This chocolate cake turned out wonderful, very moist and juicy because I secretly added some zucchini to the dough. Nobody will be able to taste them but it’s a good way to soothe your conscience and pin some vegetables on the little and big vegetable rejecters.
As a child I didn’t like zucchini at all but I don’t even have a reason for it now. As my parents had many of them in their garden, they once tricked me and served a parsley soup one day that was actually a zucchini soup. After my 3rdplate I wasn’t quite able to say I don’t like them anymore. I’m still a bit mad about the false soup today!
But I hope nobody will question the ingredients with this delicious cake and simply enjoy it.
The whole cherries on top turn this cake into a real eye catcher. We brought it to a party and everyone was delighted. This way you can start off with the whole cherries and then enjoy a full dose of chocolate. Nevertheless this cake isn’t too sweet because of the zucchini and doesn’t need any white household sugar.
Do you like a really moist chocolate cake? Then you should definitely try this recipe, especially since all these sweet and tasty cherries are currently available. And on top this is a good way to consume zucchini – do you really need any further reasons? The cake was quickly eaten up at the party, everyone really liked it.
If you love sneaking vegetables into sweet bakes as much as I do, be sure to try my zucchini blondies with chocolate or my zucchini chocolate cake with blood oranges. And if you love the combination of chocolate and cherries, you will adore my gingerbread mousse with cherries. I would love to hear your feedback!
