Cherry Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cakes

Crinkle cakes were a favourite childhood treat and this new recipe for Cherry Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cakes rekindles those memories.

Cherry Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cakes. A childhood favourite.

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.

Cherry Chocolate Chip Crinkle Cakes.

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.

Red Glacé Cherries can easily be replaced with chopped fresh or frozen cherries if you like.

I shared these with a few co-workers and they absolutely raved about them. What a perfect lunchbox treat.

Dark 50% cocoa chocolate chips are my favourite in this recipe but you can use milk chocolate if you prefer.
