And I'm so glad I did. This is a very delicious cake. The cherries are soft and moist, and the cake is buttery and tasty, with a crispy and flaky top "crust" that formed as it baked. Oh, it was so yummy!
Summer Cherry Cake
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. almond extract
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking powder
1 cup flour
2 cup cherries, pitted (sweet, if using sour increase sugar to 1 cup)
Directions:
Cream butter and sugar. Beat in eggs, one at a time until well incorporated. Stir in vanilla and almond extracts. Sift in salt, baking powder, and flour.
Pour batter into a sprayed 8" cake pan (I used a greased 8-inch square pan) and poke cherries through the batter, pushing to all different levels. After this I added a step of lightly spreading the batter over the cherries, since pushing them in had made the batter very uneven and funny-looking on top.
Bake at 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Oooh, look at that delicious cake! Doesn't it look so beautiful?
Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve.
Yeah. REALLY glad that I made this cake, heeheehee...

I made it today too! :) I click through sometimes on the blog links you have and couldn't resist trying that one out. Yours looks much prettier than mine... but wow is it delicious! I also bought cherries, but they are already starting to go bad. I was pleased to find this recipe. Anyway, thanks for posting yours... and I'm glad we are enjoying our cherry cakes together. :)
That picture of it in the pan makes me want to grab a fork and DIG IN!!!
Now I know what we're having for lunch.....YUM!!
Oh, No! Now I have to take some of the cherries that I have frozen, to make jam later in the year, out of the freezer to make this.
It looks delish!
Those cherries peeking through in that tender cake are making me want a huge square of cake! Why can't I reach through the screen and just grab a piece!!
Wow....yummy looking cake. Did you use tart cherries (like you would use for a pie), OR, sweet cherries?
I would like to make this, but want to make sure the right cherries are used.
I love all of your FUN recipes!
Have a great day!
That looks great stefanie. The cherries are beautiful and I love the simple powdered sugar topping.
That looks so yummy! I love almond flavoring when it's added in a cake--so I bet this is so good!
Kimmie - I used Bing cherries, which are sweet. If you use sour cherries, increase the sugar to 1 cup. :-)
I like cherries and this looks good!
I want to go buy some cherries right now just to make this! It looks so good!
