Ingredients:

Serving

2 eggs
2 egg whites
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/3 cup strong brewed coffee
3 tbsp canola oil
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
2/3 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
cherry topping:
1/2 cup cherry juice blend
1/2 cup port wine or additional cherry juice blend
2/3 cup dried tart cherries
2 tbsp honey

1 package (12 oz) frozen pitted dark sweet cherries, thawed and halved
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
1/2 tsp almond extract

Directions:

Coat a 9-in. round baking pan with cooking spray and sprinkle with flour. In a large bowl, beat the eggs, egg whites, buttermilk, coffee, oil and vanilla until well blended. Combine the flour, cocoa, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt; gradually beat into egg mixture until blended.
Transfer to prepared pan. Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing from pan to a wire rack. Cool completely.
In a large saucepan, combine the cherry juice, wine, dried cherries, honey and salt. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, uncovered, for 8-11 minutes or until liquid is reduced by half. Stir in dark cherries; cook and stir for 2 minutes.
Combine cornstarch and water; whisk into cherry mixture. Cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat; stir in extract. Cool.
Serve cake with cherry topping; garnish with whipped cream. Yield: 14 servings.
