Ingredients
Scale
1 cup sour cherries, pitted
1 cup pistachios, shelled and chopped
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
½ cup milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch round cake pan.
In a mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition, then stir in the vanilla extract.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the milk, and mix until just combined.
Fold in the sour cherries and chopped pistachios gently into the batter.
Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan and smooth the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For a richer flavor, consider adding a pinch of cardamom to the batter.
Serve with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
This cake can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
