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.

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.
