Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cups Milk
- 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 1 cups Cherries (pitted and halved)
- 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoons Almond extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.
In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Gently fold in the cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.
Allow the mini cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cakes are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and almond extract in a small bowl until smooth.
Drizzle the glaze over the cooled mini cakes. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.
Enjoy your Cherry Mini Cakes as a delightful treat!
