Preparation

  1. 1

    Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a loaf pan with parchment paper.

    Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and granulated sugar until well combined.

  3. 3

    Mix Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, beat the eggs, then add the buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and combined.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

  2. 5

    Add Cherries and Chocolate

    Fold in the chopped cherries and dark chocolate chips until evenly distributed in the batter.

Baking

  1. 6

    Pour into Pan

    Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.

  2. 7

    Bake

    Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

    Cool

    Once baked, remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
