Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 cup cherry preserves
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Edible flowers for decoration

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans.
  2. Cream the softened butter and sugar together until it’s light and fluffy.
  3. Add the eggs, one by one, mixing well after each addition.
  4. Stir in the vanilla and almond extracts until just combined.
  5. Whisk together the flour and baking powder in another bowl.
  6. Gradually mix the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, alternating with the milk until everything is well combined.
  7. Divide the batter evenly between the prepared pans and smooth the tops with a spatula.
  8. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before turning them out onto wire racks to cool completely.
  10. Spread cherry preserves between the cake layers and top with whipped cream.
  11. Garnish with edible flowers for a beautiful presentation.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use plant-based butter and milk. Always choose high-quality cherry preserves for the best flavor.
