Delicious Cherry Almond Cake Recipe - Sweet and Nutty

Ingredients

Servings:
8
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup cherries, pitted and chopped
  • 1 cup sliced almonds
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

8 steps

  1. Preheat the Oven

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.

    Make sure the oven is fully preheated for even baking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients

    In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

    Sifting the flour can help avoid lumps.
  3. Cream Butter and Sugar

    In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.

    Use room temperature butter for best results.
  4. Add Eggs and Extracts

    Add the eggs, vanilla extract, and almond extract to the butter mixture; mix until combined.

    Add eggs one at a time for better incorporation.
  5. Combine Mixtures

    Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined.

    Do not overmix to keep the cake light and fluffy.
  6. Fold in Cherries and Almonds

    Gently fold in the chopped cherries and sliced almonds.

    Reserve some almonds for topping if desired.
  7. Bake the Cake

    Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

    Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  8. Cool and Serve

    Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

    Serve with whipped cream for extra indulgence.
