Oil Soluble Cherry
This Cherry Cake is a soft, fluffy, and flavor-packed dessert infused with the irresistible taste of ripe cherries. Made using Oil Soluble Cherry Flavoring Extract, this recipe ensures a smooth, even cherry flavor throughout the batter—without the separation or dullness that comes with water-based flavorings. The result is a moist, tender crumb with a rich aroma that’s perfect for birthdays, tea time, or any celebration. The cake bakes beautifully golden and can be enjoyed as-is or topped with cherry frosting for extra indulgence.
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 2 ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar
- 3 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 tsp Oil Soluble Cherry Flavoring Extract
- 1 cup whole milk
- (Optional) ½ cup chopped maraschino cherries for added texture
- (Optional) A few drops of natural pink or red coloring for a rosy hue
Directions
Preheat and prepare – Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch round or square cake pan.
Mix dry ingredients – In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar – In a large mixing bowl, beat butter and sugar with an electric mixer for about 2–3 minutes until light and fluffy.
Add eggs and cherry extract – Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in Oil Soluble Cherry Flavoring Extract for a rich, fruity aroma.
Combine wet and dry ingredients – Alternately add the dry ingredients and milk to the butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix just until combined to avoid overmixing.
Add color and cherries (optional) – For a vibrant pink cherry cake, mix in a few drops of natural coloring and fold in chopped maraschino cherries.
Bake the cake – Pour the batter into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Bake for 30–35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Cool and serve – Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Serve plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or topped with Cherry Flavor Frosting.
