Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.75 cups Unsalted butter (softened)
- 4 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Vanilla extract
- 1.25 cups Whole milk
- 16 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup Powdered sugar
- 21 ounces Cherry pie filling
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for whipped cream)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract (for whipped cream)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In a large mixing bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Add the softened butter, eggs, vanilla extract, and whole milk to the dry ingredients. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Divide the cake batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cakes to cool in the pans for 10 minutes, then transfer to wire racks to cool completely.
To prepare the cheesecake layer, beat the cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until smooth and fluffy.
Line a 9-inch round cake pan with parchment paper. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly in the pan and freeze for 2-3 hours or until firm.
Once the layers are ready, assemble the cake. Place one layer of the vanilla cake on a serving platter, spread a thin layer of cherry pie filling on top, and gently place the frozen cheesecake layer over it.
Spread another thin layer of cherry pie filling over the cheesecake, then top with the second layer of vanilla cake.
To make the whipped cream frosting, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until stiff peaks form.
Frost the top and sides of the cake with the whipped cream and decorate with dollops of whipped cream and the remaining cherry pie filling.
Refrigerate the cake for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the layers to set properly.
Slice and serve chilled. Enjoy your Cherry Cheesecake Cake!
