Chocolate Cherry Cake with Chocolate Oat Streusel

For the cake:
Preheat oven to 375 F. Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with non-sticking cooking spray. Set aside.

In a large bowl, combine the first five ingredients (flour through salt).

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat butter and sugar until fluffy. Next, add the egg, orange zest, and vanilla extract making sure it’s combined evenly.

In thirds, add the flour mixture along with the buttermilk into the sugar and eggs. Fold in the cherries and chocolate chips. Pour the batter into the cake pan and add streusel (recipe below) on top. Bake cake for about 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oven and let the cake cool. Serve with a dusting of confectioners’ sugar.

For the oat streusel topping: Add all ingredients into a bowl and combine.
