This Fresh Cherry Cake is a simple and beautiful vanilla oven baked cake with fresh cherries and cherry juices drizzled on top. I use a typical vanilla cake base which you can add some extra vanilla extract to, for a hint of more flavor.
Design your fresh cherries with your own patterns and have fun decorating with drizzles of cherry juices too. Easy, Fun and Beautiful.
To make Fresh Cherry Cake, you will need the following ingredients:
Preheat oven to 375 °F and grease a deep 9x13-inch baking pan.
In a bowl combine the flour, baking powder and salt together.
In a separate bowl, with an electric mixer, beat 1 cup sugar and butter together, for about 4-5 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add the milk and vanilla extract and stir to mix.
Combine the flour and butter mixture; mix for 2-3 minutes until well blended and thick.
Pour batter into prepared baking dish and arrange the fresh cherries on top with drizzles of cherry juice for decoration. Top with sprinkles of ½ cup sugar.
Bake the cake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes until a wooden toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool before cutting and serving.
