Cherry and cocoa cake is a classic dessert with an intense cocoa and fruit flavor and an elegant appearance. The cake is fluffy, slightly moist, and pairs perfectly with the tartness of the cherries. The recipe is simple, made with accessible ingredients, and suitable for any season. You can use fresh cherries if they are in season, or you can use frozen cherries or cherries from a jar, but those from a jar must be well-drained before being used in the cake.
