Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.75 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 3 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1.5 cups fresh cherries, pitted and halved
- 0.75 cup raisins
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 0.5 cup chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon (for topping)
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 mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the eggs one at a time to the butter, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
Mix in the sour cream until smooth and well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the pitted and halved cherries and raisins using a spatula.
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and spread evenly.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, chopped pecans or walnuts (if using), and the ground cinnamon for the topping.
Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the batter evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing and serving.
