Sweet cherries are great just eating them as they are. However, we picked so much cherries that I have to bake something with them. I found this recipe which uses sweet cherries. It’s a pudding cake.
This pudding cake is so juicy that juices over run onto my oven. So, if you would like to attempt this recipe, use a bigger pan or put an aluminum foil lined baking sheet below your pan to catch the juices.
Ingredients
- 3 cups cherries, pitted, thawed if frozen
- 1 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (necessary)
- 1 1/2 cups sugar, divided
- 1/2 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 cup boiling water
I must say that the most tedious part of this recipe is pitting the cherries.
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F.
This Cherry Pudding Cake is great for breakfast or snack at tea break.
Oh man, that sounds lovely! I love cherries.
I just bought the cherries! Perfect timing on this recipe I only buy fruit in season. Will try it out!
Who pitted all those cherries?
Yum.. that looks so delicious.
Hi David: Are you planning on blogging your attempt to make the Cherry Pudding Cake? I hope you do!
Hi Sally: I did the pitting myself. It was a lot of work!
This recipe is the same one my mother use to make every year when our cherries became ripe. I am so glad I found this recipe. Since my mother could not remember how to make it. I will let you know how it turns out.
