Ingredients

6 large eggs

6 large egg whites

2 cup heavy cream

4 tablespoons melted butter

1 tablespoon vanilla extract

1 tsp almond extract

1/2 cup maraschino cherry juice

3 cups sugar

4 1/2 cups cake flour (additional for coating cherries)

2 tablespoon baking powder

1 1/2 teaspoon salt

2 cups grated butter

8 oz dark chocolate chunks

1/2 cup chopped cherries (you will need 10-12 with stems for topping)

Frosting:

1 cup butter

8 oz cream cheese

8 cups powdered sugar

1/4 cup heavy cream

1/4 cup cherry juice

Instructions:

1. Prep by oiling 3 circle pans (8 or 9 inch) and preheat oven to 350 degrees.

2. Whisk gently together eggs, heavy cream, melted butter, and vanilla in mixing bowl.

3. In a separate mixing bowl combine dry ingredients.

4. Grate butter on top of dry ingredients. Combined by hand until butter is no larger than pea sizes.

5. Next up add in wet ingredients and blend together with electric mixer until well combined on medium speed. Then add in dark chocolate chunk and coarsely chopped flour coated cherries. Coating the cherries will make sure they don't sink to the bottom of the cake while baking in the oven. Using electric mixer until blended once more, making sure to keep on low and not over mixing.

6. Once combined put into 3 pans that are oiled and put into oven. 22-27 min or until wooden pick inserted comes out clean. Once cake is done baking let cool in pan for 15 min and transfer to cooling rack for another 15.

7. Blend together all frosting ingredients until well combined. (butter and cream cheese should be room temp if not heat in microwave for 30 sec at a time) You can add more heavy cream or powdered sugar depending on desired consistency. I sometimes choose to double the recipe for an even thicker layer on the outside.

8. Ice layers of cake and do a thin later around for a “crumb layer” that will catch all the crumbs and then make a base for the final layer. Place in fridge for 30 min and then do another layer of frosting. I enjoy piping small circles on top with a piping bag and adding cherries to each one. This also helps when cutting so I know how big to make each slice. Cut, Serve and Enjoy!

Notes

Baking a cherry chip cake with chunks of dark chocolate can be a delicious treat for any occasion. Taking notes while baking is an essential part of achieving the desired outcome especially the next time you cook the same recipe. Keeping track of the times for mixing the batter, the temperature of the oven, and the size of the cake pan you use can help you achieve the perfect cake. No two ovens are created equal, so be sure to check on your cake periodically when making it for the first time. Writing down any adjustments you made along the way can help you replicate the recipe or make improvements for when you choose to make the same cake again. Following the above steps and taking notes can help you bake a delicious cherry chip cake with chunks of dark chocolate.

How to Enhance the Pistachio Flavor Into Cake

Pistachio cake is a delicious dessert that is perfect for any special occasion. The nutty flavor of pistachios pairs perfectly with moist cake and creamy frosting. I incorporate some lightly-crushed pistachios into the cake batter as well as further enhance the flavor of the cake by adding a few teaspoons of almond extract. To get the most intense pistachio flavor, you can use real pistachio paste or extract in your cake batter. For a toasty twist on the flavor, toast the nuts before adding them to the cake batter as well.

Key Ingredients

This cake is made with all-purpose flour, eggs, butter, sugar, baking powder, salt, vanilla extract, milk, pistachios, and cream cheese. The all-purpose flour provides the cake with a light, airy texture and structure. The eggs act as a binding agent and help keep the cake moist. Butter adds flavor and richness to the cake while the sugar helps to sweeten it and create a tender crumb. Baking powder helps the cake to rise and gives it a nice texture, while salt enhances the flavor of the cake. The addition of vanilla extract adds a nice flavor to the cake, while the milk helps to keep it moist. With these ingredients, you're sure to have a delicious Pistachio Cake that will be a hit with everyone!

This delicate cake has a light and moist texture that can easily be kept at room temperature, so you don't have to worry about refrigerating it. However, the frosting does need to be refrigerated.

It can stay at room temp for a few hours, just not overnight. The ease of keeping Pistachio Cake at room temperature makes it a great choice for picnics and outdoor events.
