Tips:
- Choose fresh and ripe cherries: Using high-quality cherries will significantly enhance the flavor of your cake.
- Pit the cherries: Use a cherry pitter or a sharp knife to remove the pits from the cherries. This step is essential to avoid an unpleasant texture in your cake.
- Marinate the cherries: To intensify the cherry flavor, marinate the pitted cherries in sugar and lemon juice for at least 30 minutes before adding them to the cake batter.
- Use buttermilk: Buttermilk adds a moist and tender crumb to the cake. If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar to regular milk and letting it sit for 5 minutes.
- Cream the butter and sugar together: This step is essential for achieving a light and fluffy cake. Cream the butter and sugar together until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Add the eggs one at a time: Gradually add the eggs to the butter-sugar mixture, beating well after each addition. This will help prevent the cake from curdling.
- Fold in the dry ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Overmixing can result in a tough cake.
- Bake the cake at 350°F (175°C): Bake the cake at a moderate temperature to ensure that it cooks evenly throughout. Check the cake for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center. If it comes out clean, the cake is done.
