Chocolate cherry bundt cake (Cake de chocolate y cerezas)

A few days ago it was my birthday and I wanted to do something small but delicious because it is always good to celebrate life.
And also for the twins and hubby who love chocolate.

So I made one of my favorites a bundt cake of chocolate and cherries and was really good.
The best thing was fine to me do it (although I'm better off on my arm)
You can use fresh or frozen cherries . I know in many sites you are lucky to have fresh cherries!
We are in winter, but always try to freeze some cherries !

Mine were frozen and it was delicious.

I share them as always with much love!
