To be very honest, the pictures of this cherry cake do not do enough justice to how delicious and out of the world this cake actually tastes!

Cherries are one of my favorite fruits and I love the color they lend to cakes. I have already made this cherry cake thrice this season and still can’t get enough of it. This recipe of cherry cake reeks of soul satisfaction and it is something I associate with guiltless eating (or maybe that is just me, haha). It’s perfect to have with a warm cup of coffee or hot chocolate on a nice rainy day, and that is why I’m posting this recipe just when monsoons are right around the corner!

Perfect to welcome any kind of guests because of just how pretty the cherry cake looks with the warm redness of the cherries and the whiteness of the cake, this cake turns out best when made with fresh cherries!

Ingredients of the traditional cherry cake recipe

This is a traditional and fresh cherry cake recipe from scratch. Most noteworthy are the flavors which are beautiful and the essence of cherries is unforgiving and absolutely lovely. Similarly, the lemon zest also provides a subtle balance to the overall taste of the cake.

If you’d like to make a bigger cake or similarly, you want to go with a two-tiered cake, you can just double the ingredients. Furthermore, to make your own buttermilk, add 1 tablespoon of white vinegar to 1/4th cup milk and let the mixture rest for 5 minutes. Above all, with the lemon zest, please do not over-grate. Grate only until the yellow part as the white part is bitter, and it will consequently lead to an unpleasant taste.

Tips to remember when baking with fresh fruits

  • When using big fruits like apples or mangoes, remember to cut them in uniform sizes.
  • Fruits with seeds need to be de-seeded properly. This cherry cake also requires the cherries to be de-seeded appropriately. Seeds also render a bitter taste to cakes.
  •  Juicy fruits make your cake mixtures thinner. Hence, one should always be careful around them.

    Hi Shivesh,
