Crinkle cakes were a favourite childhood treat and this new recipe for Cherry Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cakes rekindles those memories.
I loved crinkle cakes as a child. We received a terrific nostalgic response from perfecting and posting our recipe for the Gumdrop version. We have been trying out new versions to share with you since then.
These tender moist little cakes are terrific with just glacé cherries but as the kids suggested. "Everything's better with chocolate chips" and I didn't argue.
I shared these with a few co-workers and they absolutely raved about them. What a perfect lunchbox treat.

Hi Barry, I'm a new baker and this recipe looks wonderful!! My hubby loves partridge berry crinkles; if I were to use frozen berries rather than chocolate chips and cherries how much do you suggest using? And do you roll frozen berries in flour before using?
Thanks for the lovely recipes you post here, it's my go-to spot when I am searching for something new to cook for supper. 🙂
Hi Robin, I'd use about 1 1/2 cups. No need to roll them in flour.
Good luck!
A very delayed response but a response nonetheless!! Thank you so much! They were a hit. 🙂
A different Robin here..........do you have any info on why these are called "Crinkle Cakes"? It is an interesting name!
Hello different Robin. The original bakery made version used crinkled paper liners like cupcake liners but rectangular. I think that's where it comes from.
i made the "gumdrop" recipe last night, very good !!
Please Barry how much is your cup of flour in grams?
What does Google say? 🙂
Hi, I made the recipe using mixed fruit and they are delicious. Thank you.
How many loaves does this recipe make?
Depends on your pan size.
What size are the mini pans? 5 3/4 x 3 1/4 ? different sizes are available
Far smaller than that. It's a single pan like a muffin pan. The cakes are about muffin sized.
Just wondering if you have tried these using maybe chopped pecans instead of chocolate chips? I'm not a fan of chocolate chips except in cookies.
That would be fine.
In your recipe it’s listed as flour but in your directions it says cake flour. I’m going shopping and not sure which to buy,can you help me please?
Either would be fine
if using frozen cherries, would that change the baking time/temp?
No.
