Time 1h10m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup vegetable oil
2 cups granulated sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
2 drops lemon extract
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 (19 ounce) can cherry pie filling

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, then lightly greast a 9"x13" baking pan.
  • In a medium-size bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, baking powder & salt, then make a well in the center & blend in the oil, sugar, eggs, vanilla & lemon extracts & the OJ, stirring to make a smooth batter.
  • Pour 3/4 of the batter into the prepared pan, then carefully spread the cherry pie filling over this layer of batter, before topping the pie filling with HALF of the remaining batter.
  • Finally, in dollops, drop the rest of the batter onto the top of everything (being uneven is not a problem!) & bake 55-60 minutes, or until the top is firm to the touch.

I'm not a baker, but this recipe seems easy enough to follow. I think I'll give it a try.

I'm allergic to cherries. Can I substitute another fruit, like blueberries or raspberries?

This cake is a bit too sweet for my taste. Next time, I'll reduce the amount of sugar by half.

I'm not sure what went wrong with my cake. It turned out dry and dense. Maybe I didn't cream the butter and sugar together enough.

I was a bit skeptical about the blitz method, but it actually worked really well. The cake was light and fluffy, and the cherries were evenly distributed throughout.

This cake was easy to make and turned out beautifully. I used fresh cherries from my backyard, and they really made the cake sing. My family loved it!

I'm not usually a fan of cherry cakes, but this one changed my mind. The addition of cinnamon and nutmeg gave it a warm and cozy flavor that was perfect for a chilly day.

This cherry cake was a real treat! The combination of sweet and tart cherries with the delicate crumb of the cake was simply divine. I'll definitely be making this again for my next party.
