Buttermilk does add such a nice touch to cakes. Chocolate and cherries are a great combo too.

I’ve never seen a cake with maraschino cherries inside. On the icing sometimes and inside the cake are usually those heavy glace cherries. I don’t like those. Got to make this one!
Anuradha…..that is one beautiful cake. Just perfect in it’s simplicity. I always love the combination of chocolate and cherries together. So glad it was this month’s theme and thank you so much for bringing me into this group! (I love the shape of your cake…I don’t have that pan …..YET!) : )

Mmm, love the nuttiness whole wheat flour adds to cakes. When combined with chocolate and cherries – it’s even better. Plus buttermilk is such a splendid compliment to the sweet. Looks like a big time winner =)
Your dedication to #BundtaMonth is mind-bogglingly, COOL :)

Oh my your bundt looks so good, I love all the flavors that you have put into this. Most notably is the chocolate, I love that the buttermilk makes it look so moist. I cant wait to make this one.
What a glorious bundt cake!
This bundt is gorgeous. I must make it.
I actually really like maraschino cherries but had no idea what they would be like to bake with. So I am glad someone did! Beautiful!
That is so gorgeous!! I would really, really like a slice please!!
Anything chocolate is a hit in our home….Love the design on the cake. I can never get my cakes to release nicely from those intricate design pans….
Thanks Asiya. I recommend you glance over a post I did on how to take out bundt cakes from their pans. Hope the little tips help – http://bakerstreet.tv/2012/06/bundt-101-how-to-remove-bundt-cakes-from-a-pan/
