Moist Cherry Choc Chip Vanilla Cake - cooking recipe

Ingredients

150 g flour (I used spelt flour)
50 g whole wheat flour (I used whole spelt)
50 g cornstarch
2 teaspoons baking powder
100 g butter, softened (a reduced calorie one should work out fine)
50 g sugar (I subbed splenda)
2 small eggs
50 ml sparkling water (can sub milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
125 g prepared vanilla pudding (I used a soy dessert for this)
75 g mini chocolate chips (I used bittersweet)
1 cup cherries (fresh or canned, but if using fresh you need to pit them)

Preparation

In a big bowl combine flours, starch and baking powder. Set aside.
In a second big bowl cream butter and sugar for 8 minutes (this is crucial, dont skip it).
Add in eggs one by one and mix well.
In a third bowl combine vanilla pudding, vanilla extract and sparkling water. Alternating with the flour mixture, add this to the butter and sugar mixture stirring to combine. Depending on which fruit youre using, you might need to add 1 tbs or so of milk here to get the right consistency.
Fold in chocolate chips and cherries.
Put dough into a prepared 1lb loaf pan and smooth top using a spoon.
Bake in the preheated oven at 175\u00b0C/350\u00b0F for about 50 minutes or until toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Check on the cake after 30 minutes and cover it with parchment paper if its getting too dark.
