Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 100 grams all-purpose flour
- 50 grams granulated sugar
- 50 grams unsalted butter
- 1 egg
- 30 ml whole milk
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 70 grams pitted cherries
- 5 grams powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease two individual ramekins or a small baking dish.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, cream the unsalted butter and granulated sugar together using a whisk or a hand mixer until light and fluffy.
Beat in the egg and vanilla extract until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the milk, and stir until the batter is smooth.
Fold in the pitted cherries gently, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter evenly into the prepared ramekins or baking dish.
Place the ramekins or dish into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cakes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if desired.
Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy your Cherry Cake Apparently for Two!
