Sour Cherry Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups sour cherries, pitted (fresh or jarred)
  • 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 sour cream

Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in the sour cherries, being careful not to break them apart.
  7. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and spread it evenly.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for about 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.

Once cooled, you can dust the cake with powdered sugar for an elegant finish or serve it with a dollop of whipped cream. This sour cherry cake is perfect as a standalone treat or can be paired with a scoop of ice cream. Enjoy your baking and the delicious rewards that follow!
