Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 180C / 350 F. Line your baking pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
    I used a 9" square pan. You can use a round 8" or 9" pan too.
  • Combine all the dry ingredients - flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar in a bowl.
    Whisk them well to remove any lumps.
    1 3/4 cup Wholewheat flour, 1/4 cup Cocoa powder, 1.5 tsp Baking powder, 1 tsp Baking soda, 1/4 tsp salt,3/4 cup Brown sugar
  • Now add the oil, milk, yogurt, and vanilla to the dry ingredients. Mix well but gently. Your batter should be thick, shiny, and smooth.
    1/2 cup Coconut oil, 3/4 cup Coconut milk, 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, 2 tsp Vanilla extract
  • Fold in the cherries and chocolate chips.
    Transfer the batter to the prepared pan. Sprinkle with sea salt and some more chocolate chips if you like.
    1 cup Cherries, pitted and chopped, 1/2 cup Dark chocolate chips 70% or Dairy-free chocolate chips, 1/2 tsp Sea salt
  • Bake at 180 C or 350 F for 35-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center of the cake comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.
    Please don't overbake this cake, else it will be very dry.
    Let cool completely before cutting into squares and enjoy!
