Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup dried cherries, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons kirsch or 2 tablespoons hot water
3 cups cake flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 cups sugar
5 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

  • Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Beat in the vanilla and almond extract.
  • Add the flour mixture at low speed, mixing just until blended.
