Bake the cherry pie with fresh cherries or potted cherries?
Whether you bake the chocolate cherry cake with fresh cherries or cherries from a jar is a matter of pure taste. Either way, it tastes super juicy and delicious. But during the cherry season in the summer we would recommend you go for fresh fruit. If it is too time consuming to pit the cherries or want to enjoy the cake all year round, potted cherries are also a very good option. Alternatively, you can use frozen cherries, but you should first thaw them, then empty them and then dry them with a kitchen towel.
