ONE-LAYER MARASCHINO CHERRY CAKE

This cherry cake recipe is in partnership with our favorite brand, Bob’s Red Mill.

Guys, why have I never made cherry cake before? I’ve made a lemon sponge cake, brownie cake, and strawberry cake, but never cherry! And oh boy, am I glad I tried it. I made this cake with Bob’s Red Mill, which is my secret to all my delicious cakes, and it’s fantastic! Just sweet enough, and tasty and fruity. My son intended to only taste the cake, but after he had one bite he couldn’t get enough!

What’s great about this homemade cake is that it turns that lovely pink color without any food coloring. It’s especially perfect when we use Bob Red Mill’s Organic Flour which, as you know, we think is the BEST quality flour you can get. Our cakes are so simple and use such few ingredients that we think using only the best is essential.
