Cherry chocolate cake (vegan)

May 19, 2018 By travellingoven 1 Comment

Usually I don’t post on the blog on weekends but today I’ll do it because I’m not sure I will have the time for that next week and I really really want to share this little Cherry chocolate cake with you! Anybody else excited that cherry season is finally here? I am enjoying it to the fullest because it lasts so short (just like the strawberries!) and before we know it, it will be gone.

So let’s enjoy as many cherries and cherry recipes as we can, shall we?! 😀 I am eating cherry smoothie bowls for breakfast, cherry banana ice creams for dessert, oh and I should definitely bake again this cherry clafoutis! You get the picture, I LOVE cherries! So let’s go back to today’s recipe that is for everybody who loves chocolate + cherries combination who doesn’t, right?!) and is in the mood for healthier and just mildly sweet cake for a little treat.

This is a very simple cake made with just few wholesome ingredients, it’s sweetened with coconut sugar and it doesn’t have any eggs in it so it’s naturally vegan too. It is very mildly sweet but if you like sweeter desserts, you can always use regular granulated sugar instead of coconut sugar. Hope you’ll give it a try and if you do, please let me know how did you like it, I always love hearing from you!

So to recap, you will love this cake if you:

  • like chocolate + cherries combination
  • prefer not overly sweet desserts
  • want to bake a healthier dessert made with wholesome ingredients
  • looking for a simple recipe with not too many ingredients
  • want to bake a vegan cake
  • want to use some of the gorgeous cherries in a dessert

This kind of cake is great for breakfast too, specially with a glass of milk (of your choice)! Just one little note, since the cake is made with coconut oil instead of butter, it’s better to keep it at room temperature and not in the fridge before serving. Coconut oil always hardens in the fridge so that’s why.

I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted t I haven’t posted anything in a while so wanted to say hello! 😊 My Summer has been a combination of precious time with family and friends, swimming in the mornings on ‘my beach’ in Dubrovnik, some interesting shoots, ice creams and watermelon, mum’s delicious food, reading books on my favourite terrace in the world, laughing with my niece and nephew until my stomach hurts from laughter and many other ‘ordinary’ beautiful moments. Summer is still here but I’m slowly getting excited about the next season and all the beauty it brings! ☺️❤️

Before I post on the blog a travel story from my t Before I post on the blog a travel story from my trip to Tuscany and its charming towns, here are some images from one of my favourite, San Quirico d’Orcia. I liked it even more because it was raining and the mood was just so special and beautiful! 
☺️🌧️
This trip was all about smaller towns so we didn’t even go to Florence on this occasion but we visited 12 towns in 5 days and I can’t wait to share with you my favourite photos from the trip! ❤️
