Chocolate cherry oat cake


I raided the pantry the other day to make something out of the oats and chocolate chips I had on hand. I also wanted to use some frozen cherries. This recipe was adapted from a bar recipe I found (which called for dried cherries and a square pan). My cake came out nicely, if a little crumbly. I would have liked more cherry flavor to come through, which might have occurred if I used dried cherries. Nonetheless, a good snacking cake.


7 tblsp butter, softened1/4 c white sugar1/2 c brown sugar1 egg1/2 tsp vanilla extract3/4 cup flour 3/4 cup oats1 tsp baking powder pinch coarse sea salt Heaping 1/2 c chipsScant cup frozen cherries, thawed and chopped
Round cake pan350 for 30

Heat oven to 350. Grease and flour a round cake pan. Cream butter and sugars. Add egg and vanilla till just combined. Add remaining ingredients till just combined. The batter will be sticky. Spread evenly over the bottom of the cake pan. Bake for 30 minutes.
