Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.75 cups unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup sour cream
- 0.5 cups milk
- 1.5 cups pitted cherries (fresh or frozen, thawed)
- 1.25 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter and sugar together using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer until light and fluffy, approximately 3-4 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in the vanilla extract.
On low speed, mix in the sour cream and milk until combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Using a spatula, gently fold in the cherries and chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and let the cake cool completely in the pan on a wire rack.
If desired, dust the top of the cooled cake with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice and enjoy your Cherry Chocolate Chip Cake!
