We have been cleaning the entire house today after some busy weeks. Suddenly i started to crave for chocolate, i don’t know how it hit for me..I wanted something sweet, chocolaty so badly. When i searched my fridge i found the Cherry which was left from my panna cotta dish. I decided to use that so i can post it for the recipe carnival.
I decided to microwave the cake because i cannot wait for another 20 mins to dig in. So i cameup with this recipe. I also made a wonderful coulis using Red Cherry.
This coulis made the cake so fresh and yummy. I loved the warm cake which is drizzled with this yummy sauce, Traditionally the coulis should be strained, but i left it chunky because i want some texture in the coulis. I also drizzled this coulis over some icecream and had it, it was like heaven.
Someother option to use this coulis. Drizzle it over pancakes,waffles,brownies. The Option is pretty much endless.

Wheat Flour / Atta – 5 tblspn
Cocoa – 2 tblspn
Sugar – 3 tblspn
Oil – 3 tblspn ( I used Coconut Oil)
Canned Red Cherry

Dear Aarthi, beautiful post. These cherry cakes look delicious…something I would enjoy very much. Blessings to you my dear, your friend, Catherine xo
This sounds wonderful, aren't microwave cakes the best? I can't believe the pillowy texture they have—and the cherries can't hurt in this one, either.
Wow yummy yum!! Loved the preparation 🙂
