CHERRY NUT CAKE



Cherry Nut Cake image

My grandmother made up this recipe for her children. Using Ozark-grown cherries and walnuts, she invented one they all liked. Granny always used cream from the dairy farm near her home, but the half-and half works well and is easier to find. -Diana Jennings, Lebanon, Missouri

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients are measured and ready. This helps the baking process run smoothly.
  • Room Temperature Ingredients: Bring butter, eggs, and sour cream to room temperature before mixing. This allows them to blend more easily, resulting in a smooth batter.
  • Properly Measure Flour: Use a kitchen scale to measure flour accurately. Scooping flour directly from the bag can result in too much flour, leading to a dry cake.
  • Do Not Overmix: Overmixing the batter can develop the gluten in the flour, resulting in a tough cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Baking Time and Temperature: Bake the cake at the specified temperature and for the exact time indicated in the recipe. Checking the cake a few minutes before the end of the baking time is recommended.
  • Cool Completely Before Frosting: Allow the cake to cool completely before frosting it. This prevents the frosting from melting and ensures a smooth, even application.
  • Chilling Time for Frosting: Chill the frosting for at least 30 minutes before using. This helps it set properly and makes it easier to spread.
  • Garnish with Nuts and Cherries: Before serving, garnish the cake with chopped nuts and cherries. This adds texture, color, and extra flavor to the dessert.
