Ingredients

  • 1 cup Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
  • ½ cup dark cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 cup nondairy milk
  • cup vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoon white vinegar
  • ½ tablespoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chocolate chips
  • *for the cherry cake batter*
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoon warm water
  • ½ cup Dixie Crystals granulated sugar
  • ¾ cup + 2 tablespoon all purpose flour
  • ¾ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 2 tablespoon vegan butter
  • 3 tablespoon nondairy yogurt
  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • cup maraschino cherry syrup
  • cup maraschino cherries cut into fourths
  • 1 teaspoon Adams Extracts cherry extract
  • 2 teaspoon Adams Extracts vanilla extract
  • *for the glaze*
  • 1 cup Dixie Crystals powdered sugar
  • ½ teaspoon Adams Extracts cherry extract
  • 1 teaspoon Adams Extracts red food coloring
  • 1 ½ tablespoon nondairy milk as needed to thin

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F, and spray a bundt pan well with baking spray.
  • In a large bowl, make the chocolate cake batter. Whisk together the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix in the milk, oil, and vanilla extract until a thick batter forms. Finally, stir in the vinegar and chocolate chips.
  • Next, prepare the cherry cake batter. In a small bowl, whisk together the flaxseed and water, and set aside to thicken. In a stand mixer, mix together the sugar, flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add in the vegan butter, and mix together until mixture appears sandy and well combined.
  • In a large liquid measuring cup, combine the flaxseed mixture with the yogurt, oil, cherry syrup, cherry extract, and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  • With the mixer running on low, slowly drizzle the wet ingredients into the dry, until batter comes together. Finally, stir in the maraschino cherry pieces.
  • To create the striped effect in the cake, alternate spoonfuls of chocolate and cherry batter as you add them to the pan. Repeat until you have used all the cake batter.
  • Bake cherry chip bundt cake in preheated oven for 55-65 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with just a few crumbs.
  • Allow cake to partially cool in the pan, then turn out onto a cake stand or platter to finish cooling. You want to flip it out before the chocolate chips harden and stick to the pan.
  • When cake has cooled off completely, you can make the glaze. In a bowl, mix together the powdered sugar with the cherry extract and red food coloring. Add just enough milk for a thick glaze to form. Pour over the cake as desired, and serve!
