5 PRO Tips for the Fresh Cherry Cake Recipe
➡️ The fresh cherry cake recipe is very easy to bake, so I don’t have many secrets to share with you to get perfect results. However, below are some tips that you may find useful:
- use black cherries if you can but the recipe can be made with other sweet cherry types as well and even with sour cherries
- the cake is all the fluffier the longer the dough stays in the fridge, so I recommend you leave it as cold as possible but not more than 12 hours!
- don’t forget to use the two-step backing method for the best results – you need first a higher temperature to rise the dough, then a lower one to bake well
- don’t cut off the cake until it isn’t completely cold
- even if not mandatory, I recommend you sprinkle it over powdered sugar for a better look and taste (vanilla powdered sugar is even better!)
