Preparation

How to prepare Cherry Cake

To prepare the cherry cake, first wash the cherries well. Then remove the stem, cut them in half 1, and extract the pit inside 2. Continue this process until they are all done. Begin with the batter: start beating the eggs with the sugar 3, using an electric mixer 3.

Add the grated lemon zest 4 and continue beating until you obtain a light and frothy mixture 5. Lower the speed and incorporate part of the flour 6.

Gradually add the remaining flour 7 and continue beating with the mixer until it's well absorbed. Now pour in the milk 8 and keep mixing 9.

Incorporate the oil 10 and baking powder 11 and beat until you obtain a homogeneous mixture 12.

Butter and flour a 8-inch springform pan. Pour a layer of batter inside 13 and add some cherries on top 14. Cover with more batter 15.

Level with a spoon to cover all the cherries well 16 and add another layer of cherries 17. Pour the remaining batter on top 18.

Smooth it out well with a spoon 19 and finish with the remaining cherries 20. Sprinkle with granulated sugar 21 and bake in a static preheated oven at 340°F for about 60 minutes.

Remove the cake from the oven 22 and let it cool. Then remove it from the mold 23 and serve it 24.
