Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup buttermilk
- 2 tablespoons red food coloring
- 1 cup fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- Optional: Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pans
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Cake Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the vanilla extract. In a measuring cup, combine the buttermilk and red food coloring. Alternately add the dry ingredients and the buttermilk mixture to the creamed mixture, beating just until incorporated.
Step 3: Bake the Cake
Pour the batter into the prepared pans and spread evenly. Arrange the cherries on top of the batter. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 4: Assemble and Serve the Cake
Once the cakes have cooled, place one layer on a plate or cake stand. Spread a thick layer of buttercream frosting over the top and spread with an offset spatula. Place the second layer on top and spread with a thin layer of buttercream frosting. Decorate with additional cherries, if desired. Dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve and enjoy!
