This is a pound cake that both Michael and I came up with. The base of the pound cake came from a recipe, but the rest of these ingredients were totally made up. We wanted to “invent” a cake, so that’s what we did.
Michael loves chocolate chips, so this ingredient was number one. We both agreed that it needed some other ingredient that meshed with the chocolate and added a “kick” as well. After going back and forth coming up with different types of ingredients, we came up with dried cherries. However, that was not enough for me. I wanted to infuse them with Kirsch, which is a cherry liquor. Before I went to bed the night before we made this cake, I pour enough Kirsch to cover 4 oz. of dried cherries and covered them with Saran Wrap.
In the morning I check the cherries, and they had really absorbed the liquor. Wow, potent!!! I had no idea how this cake was going to come out, but it had great ingredients. I just kept my fingers crossed.
In the end, this is a delicious cake that turned out perfect. I wouldn’t change a thing. After the cake cooled, I sprinkled the cake with powdered sugar. This always makes a cake look “ finished”. If you try this cake, please let me know how you liked it.
