choc cherry cake

STOP! Stop what you are doing, turn on the oven, and bake this cake.  It is delicious!  It has a biscuit like base and cherry centre, and is just more-ish. I have to admit it is quite a bit of effort to make…but well worth it.   I found the recipe in delicious (care of Maggie Beer) – although tweaked it a little so I could use real dark chocolate instead of cocoa. I made this for the first time on the weekend, and will be making it again this weekend… if I can wait that long!
