Cherry and chocolate cake

Description

The baking is simple and quick. This is an incredibly rich cake that literally melts in your mouth! In my family, there are certain dishes we always prepare as a standard (including desserts), but I really enjoy trying something new. That's how I found this fantastic cake recipe. Serve it with tea or coffee.
