US Customary - Metric

Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cup butter - or margarine
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon rum extract - optional
  • 2 ½ cups flour
  • ¾ tablespoon baking powder
  • ⅓ cup cocoa powder - unsweetened
  • ½ cup milk

FILLING

  • 8 oz cream cheese - 1 package - soft at room temperature
  • ¼ cup greek yoghurt - I love the "Faye Brand"
  • 1 egg
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • zest of half a lime + a little squirt of juice - optional
  • 1 cup pitted cherries (if using preserved cherries, please drain liquid)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 °F
    Make ahead the Filling:
    1. Add cream cheese, yoghurt, and vanilla extract to a bowl, and mix high speed until combined. Add the egg and continue to mix until mixture is smooth. At this point the lemon zest and spritz can be added, and quickly incorborated. Set aside in the refrigerator.
    To make the Batter:
    1. With an electric Stand mixer or handheld mixer, mix butter and sugar until light and fluffy. (high speed) Add one egg at a time and continue to mix. Turn off mixer, then add vanilla and rum extract (if using).
    2. Add the flour, baking powder, and cocoa powder. IMPORTANT: With the mixer on low just barely combine all the ingredients, then slowly pour in the milk, continue to mix on low - just until combined! Turn the mixer to high speed and mix the batter for about 30 seconds. Batter will super become creamy and fluffy.
    3. Grease and lightly flour a bundt pan. With a rubber spatula, spoon half of the batter into the bundt pan. Spoon the cream cheese filling over the chocolate batter, then place the pitted cherries over the filling. Top with the rest of the chocolate batter.
    Bake for 55 to 65 minutes, or until a skewer inserted in the center of cake comes out clean.
    Allow to cool completely. Enjoy!
