Cherry Buckle
A classic and old-fashioned fruit-forward cake perfect for whipping up as a last-minute dessert or snack.
Ingredients
- tablespoons Vital Farms Unsalted Butter, (room temperature, plus more for greasing baking dish)
- cups all-purpose flour
- teaspoons baking powder
- teaspoon salt
- cup granulated sugar
- Vital Farms Egg, (room temperature)
- teaspoon vanilla extract
- teaspoon almond extract
- cup milk
- cups fresh cherries, (stems and pits removed, or frozen, unthawed cherries)
- tablespoons demerara or raw sugar
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Butter a 10-inch skillet or baking dish.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or large bowl using a hand mixer, combine the butter and sugar and beat on medium for about 1 minute, until the mixture is incorporated and light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
Add in the egg, vanilla and almond extracts and mix on medium again for a minute or so, until the egg has been thoroughly incorporated.
Add in the dry ingredients and turn the mixer on low and mix until just mixed in.
Transfer the batter to the buttered skilled and spread into an even layer. Spread the cherries evenly over the top and sprinkle with demerara sugar.
Bake for about 30-35 minutes, until cake is p￭ and golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool then serve.
