Steps:
- For the Cake Layers: Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C) and center the oven rack. Grease, line with parchment and flour three round 8-inch pans. (I use Parchment Paper Circles for ease.) Put two of the pans on a baking sheet (you will bake two layers then the third layer afterwards). Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium-sized bowl. Whisk together the milk, eggs, cherry juice/syrup, almond extract and cherry flavor oil (if using) in a medium bowl or large glass measuring cup. In an electric mixer fitted with the whisk or paddle attachment (I used the whisk), cream the butter and sugar on medium speed until very pale and creamy, about 5 minutes. With the mixer still on medium speed, alternate additions of the flour mixture and milk-egg mixture, beginning and ending with the flour mixture (3 dry additions, 2 wet), beating after each addition until incorporated. Continue mixing on medium speed for 2 minutes. Fold in finely chopped cherries. Divide batter evenly among 3 cake pans, smoothing the surface with a small offset spatula or rubber spatula. Use a digital kitchen scale for accuracy (mine were 560 grams per pan + one 60 gram cupcake tester), if possible. Bake until a skewer comes out with a few crumbs only, about 30 minutes. Cakes should be well-risen and springy to the touch. Transfer the cakes to cooling racks and cool for 5 minutes, then loosen the edges by running a knife around the sides. Gently turn out the cakes, peel of parchment paper bottom, then cool right side up. Bake the third cake and repeat. For the Whipped Vanilla-Cherry Filling: In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, whip butter for 5 minutes on medium speed (I use "4″ on my KitchenAid). Butter will become very pale & creamy. Add remaining ingredients, except the cherries, and mix on low speed for 1 minute, then on medium speed for 6 minutes. Filling will be very light, creamy, and fluffy. Fold in cherries. Best used right away (
Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe cherries. This will give your cake the best flavor.
- Pit the cherries before using them. You can use a cherry pitter or a small knife to do this.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing will make your cake tough.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it. This will help the frosting to set properly.
- Use a piping bag or a zip-top bag with the corner snipped off to frost the cake. This will give you more control over the frosting.
- Decorate the cake with additional cherries, sprinkles, or other desired toppings.
Conclusion:
This cherry vanilla birthday cake is a delicious and festive dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be decorated in a variety of ways. With its moist and fluffy texture, sweet cherry filling, and creamy vanilla frosting, this cake is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
