Tips:

  • To achieve the perfect texture for your Angel Cherry Cake, ensure that you beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This will incorporate air into the mixture, resulting in a light and fluffy cake.
  • Do not overmix the batter once you have added the flour. Overmixing can result in a tough and dense cake texture.
  • The amount of cherries you use can be adjusted to your personal preference. If you are a cherry lover, feel free to add more.
  • To prevent the cherries from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them in a little flour before adding them to the batter.
  • For a moist and flavorful cake, use fresh cherries whenever possible. Frozen cherries can also be used, but be sure to thaw them and drain them well before adding them to the batter.
  • If you do not have a bundt pan, you can also bake the cake in a 9x13 inch baking pan. Just adjust the baking time accordingly.
  • Serve the Angel Cherry Cake warm or at room temperature. It can be enjoyed on its own or topped with whipped cream, ice cream, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
