A few tips:
- I used my home cooked cherry jam for this cake. Making a home made jam is really easy and a good healthy alternative to store bought ones. You can of course also use a store bought one if you prefer.
- If making the jam yourself I would recommend you to cook it in advance.
- The amount of sweetener and cacao powder can be adjusted according to how sweet and rich you prefer your cake. If adding more cacao powder you might need a splash more of milk.
- Fill the baking dish with 2/3 of the batter, then make a hole in the middle using a spoon and add 2-3 tbsp of cherry jam in it. Cover with the remaining batter.
- Bake the cake for 14-17 minutes, depending on how fudgy/well baked you prefer it.
- If making it for dessert you can top it with some vanilla ice cream.
