The cherry plumcake with ruby chocolate is a truly delicious fruit cake.
I’m crazy about cherries, and in this cake, they are delightful. It’s a simple recipe made with flour, eggs, sugar, and yogurt that make it super soft. With lots of cherries inside and on top, they give it a fantastic fruity flavor, enhanced by the ruby chocolate filling.
Quick to prepare, the secret for a perfect result is to use the ingredients at room temperature, and bake at 356°F (180°C) without opening the oven until a crust forms on the surface of the cake. Great for breakfast, snack, or dessert, everyone will really love it.
