Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 drops lemon extract
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 (19 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then lightly greast a 9"x13" baking pan.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt, then make a well in the center & blend in the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla & lemon extracts & the OJ, stirring to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour 3/4 of the batter into the prepared pan, then carefully spread the cherry pie filling over this layer of batter, before topping the pie filling with HALF of the remaining batter.
  • Finally, in dollops, drop the rest of the batter onto the top of everything (being uneven is not a problem!) & bake 55-60 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch.

This cake was a bit too dense for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would add more baking powder or baking soda next time. The cake was also a bit too sweet for my taste, so I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

This cake was a bit dry, but it was still tasty. I think I would add more milk or yogurt next time. The cake was also a bit too sweet for my taste, so I would reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not a fan of cherries, but I loved this cake! The cake was moist and flavorful, and the almond extract really added a nice touch. I would definitely make this cake again, even without the cherries.

This cherry cake was a disappointment. The cake was dry and crumbly, and the cherries were tart and not very flavorful. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. I think I would reduce the amount of sugar next time. The cake was also a bit dry, so I would add more moisture, perhaps by using sour cream or yogurt instead of milk.
