Vegan Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F). We're about to make your kitchen smell amazing!
2. Time to prep your bundt pan! Melt the vegan butter and give your pan a good rub all over. Now, sprinkle in a bit of flour, tap it around to coat evenly, and shake out the excess. We're creating a non-stick paradise for our cake!
3. In a large mixing bowl, let's get our dry ingredients partying together. Toss in the flour, cornstarch, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla sugar, cocoa powder, cinnamon, and that pinch of salt. Give it all a good whisk – we want these flavors mingling!
4. Pour in the sunflower oil and soy milk. Mix everything together until you've got a smooth, chocolatey batter. It should look rich and velvety. Add the apple cider vinegar and mix again.
5. Drain your canned sour cherries, giving them a little shake to get rid of excess juice. We want their tangy flavor, not their extra moisture.
6. Gently fold the drained cherries into your batter. Don't overmix – we want to keep those cherries mostly intact for bursts of flavor in every bite!
7. Pour your cherry-studded batter into the prepared bundt pan. Give the pan a gentle tap on the counter to settle everything and remove any sneaky air bubbles.
8. Slide your creation into the preheated oven and bake for about 60 minutes. You'll know it's done when a skewer poked into the center comes out clean, or when your kitchen smells like a chocolate-cherry wonderland.
9. Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 15 minutes. It needs a little time to set after its hot spa treatment!
10. Carefully turn out your bundt cake onto a wire rack to cool completely. Marvel at those beautiful ridges and try not to sneak a bite just yet!
11. Once cool, you can dust it with a little powdered sugar, drizzle with a simple glaze, or just slice and serve as is. Each piece will be a delightful surprise of chocolate and cherry!
12. Serve your masterpiece with pride, and get ready for the oohs and aahs. This Vegan Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake is perfect for dessert, special occasions, or anytime you need to impress with your vegan baking skills!
