CHERRY CAKE - APPARENTLY FOR TWO

Cherry Cake - Apparently for Two image

Great little loaves to have handy in the freezer for when unexpected, or expected company arrives. This is from the Company's Coming - Cooking for Two cookbook. It's moist, tasty, and very easy to prepare. They say it makes one small 7 x 7 cake, but I baked it in two mini loaf pans for 40 - 45 minutes. Freezes well too. I also tried substituting 1 for 1, whole wheat flour for the all purpose. Not a good idea ;)

Tips:

Choose fresh, ripe cherries: This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your cake.
Pit the cherries before adding them to the batter: This will prevent the pits from becoming a choking hazard and will also help to distribute the cherries evenly throughout the cake.
Use a bundt pan or other fluted pan: This will help the cake to rise evenly and will also create a beautiful presentation.
Be careful not to overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake.
Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This will ensure that the cake is cooked through.
Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help to prevent the frosting from melting and will also make it easier to spread.
Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cake for up to 2 months.
