Fresh Cherry Cake
Let’s kick things off with the star of the show – the picture-perfect Fresh Cherry Cake! Just look at that beauty, it’s like summer decided to threw a party in your cake tin!
Ingredients
Before we dive into the instructions, let’s gather our cast of ingredients for this cherry-tastic cake! Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup milk
Instructions
Now that we’ve got our ingredients ready, let’s get down to business!
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round baking pan. We want our cake to slide out like a pro!
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy – don’t skip this step, it’s where the magic begins!
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then stir in the vanilla extract. Your kitchen should smell like a bakery already!
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk. Stir until just combined. Let’s not overmix; we don’t want our cake going flat!
- Gently fold in the fresh cherries. This is where you can channel your inner artist and create cherry splashes throughout the batter!
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top. You’re one step closer to cake glory!
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Oh, the sweet anticipation!
- Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Patience is key, but we understand if you want to sneak a taste!
And there you have it, folks – your very own Fresh Cherry Cake fresh out of the oven! Go ahead, take a slice, and let it transport you to pastry paradise. Enjoy every cherry-laden bite, and don’t forget to share (or not!). Happy baking!
