Step 3: Prepare the Sponge Cake Batter
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla extract, one at a time, until well combined. Next, add the dry ingredients to the mixing bowl containing the butter-sugar mixture. Add the milk and mix until the batter becomes homogenous.
Step 4: Assemble the Cake
Grease a 9-inch springform cake pan with butter or vegetable oil. Divide the sponge cake batter into two equal parts. Pour one layer of batter into the cake pan, spreading evenly. On top of this layer, pour the cherry filling, also spreading evenly. Finally, pour the remaining cake batter over the cherry filling and spread it to cover the filling layer.
Step 5: Bake the Cake
Bake the cake for 35-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into its center comes out clean.
Step 6: Cool the Cake and Serve
Once the cake is baked, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 10 minutes. After that, remove the cake from the pan and let it cool completely before serving.

Angel cherry cake is a delicious dessert that can be served on any occasion. The cake is light, fluffy, and is usually topped with cherries that add a sweet and tangy flavor. Making an angel cherry cake recipe isn't difficult, but there are several tips to keep in mind to ensure that the cake turns out perfectly. Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned baker, these tips will help you make an angel cherry cake that will leave your guests wanting more.

Tip 1: Use the Right Ingredients

The first step in making an angel cherry cake is to ensure that you use the right ingredients. You'll need flour, sugar, baking powder, salt, egg whites, vanilla extract, almond extract, cream of tartar, cherries, and whipped cream. Be sure to use all-purpose flour and not cake flour, as it can make the cake too dense. It's also essential to use fresh ingredients, as they will ensure that the cake is moist and flavorful.
1.1. Flour
When choosing flour for your angel cherry cake, it's important to use all-purpose flour. Cake flour is too fine and can make the cake dense. All-purpose flour gives the cake a light, fluffy texture.
1.2. Egg Whites
You'll need to use egg whites for this recipe. Be sure to separate the egg whites from the yolks as the yolks contain fat, which can weigh down the cake.
1.3. Cherries
The cherries you use for this recipe should be fresh and ripe. If you can't find fresh cherries, you can use canned or frozen cherries, but be sure to drain them well.
1.4. Whipped Cream
It's best to make your whipped cream as store-bought whipped cream can be too sweet and heavy for this recipe. Use heavy cream, and be sure to refrigerate it before making the whipped cream.

Tip 2: Room Temperature Ingredients

When baking an angel cherry cake, it's crucial to use room temperature ingredients. Room temperature ingredients will blend together more efficiently, resulting in a smoother, fluffier batter. Take the time to bring your ingredients to room temperature before starting to bake.
2.1. Eggs
Egg whites should be at room temperature to achieve the desired consistency when beaten. If you've forgotten to take the eggs out of the fridge, you can place them in a bowl of warm water for a few minutes to bring them to room temperature.
2.2. Butter
If your recipe calls for butter, it should also be at room temperature. If you've forgotten to take the butter out of the fridge, you can microwave it for a few seconds to soften it up. However, be careful not to melt the butter.
2.3. Cream of Tartar
When using cream of tartar, it's best to mix it with cold water first, then add it to the egg whites. This will help prevent lumps.

Tip 3: Proper Mixing Techniques

The way you mix your ingredients can affect the texture and flavor of your angel cherry cake. Below are some proper mixing techniques to ensure that your cake turns out perfectly.
3.1. Mixing the Dry Ingredients
Mixing the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, and salt) together is essential to ensure that they are evenly distributed. You can sift the dry ingredients together or whisk them together in a bowl. Whichever method you choose, ensure to mix them thoroughly.
3.2. Beating the Egg Whites
Beating the egg whites is the most crucial step in making an angel cherry cake. You want to aim for stiff peaks, which means when you lift the whisk, the egg whites stand straight up. To do this, you'll need to add cream of tartar, which will stabilize the egg whites. Beat the egg whites on medium speed until they are frothy, then add the cream of tartar and increase the speed to high. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until you achieve stiff peaks.
3.3. Folding the Ingredients
Folding the ingredients is a delicate process that ensures that the batter remains light and fluffy. Gently fold in the dry ingredients and the whipped cream to the egg whites until everything is incorporated. Be sure not to overmix as this could deflate the batter.

Tip 4: Baking the Cake

Once you've prepared your angel cherry cake batter, you'll need to bake it. Below are some tips on baking your cake to perfection.
4.1. Preparing the Pan
Prepare your baking pan by greasing it with butter or non-stick cooking spray. Dust it lightly with flour to prevent the cake from sticking.
4.2. Baking Temperature and time
The baking temperature and time are crucial to ensure that the cake bakes evenly. Bake the angel cherry cake at 350°F for 30-35 minutes, depending on your oven. Use a toothpick to test if the cake is done – it should come out clean when inserted into the center of the cake.
4.3. Cooling the Cake
Cool the cake in the pan for a few minutes, then run a knife around the edges to loosen it. Invert the cake onto a cooling rack and let it cool completely before adding the cherries and whipped cream.

Tip 5: Decorating the Cake

Now that you've baked your angel cherry cake, it's time to decorate it. Below are some tips on decorating your cake to make it look as delicious as it tastes.
5.1. Adding Cherries
Once the cake is cooled, add the cherries on top of the cake. You can use fresh, canned, or frozen cherries, but be sure to drain them well before placing them on top of the cake.
5.2. Adding Whipped Cream
Add the whipped cream to the top of the cherries, either by piping it or spreading it on top of the cherries. You can also add additional whipped cream around the edges of the cake and pipe rosettes to make it look more elegant.
5.3. Garnishing the Cake
Finally, garnish the cake with additional cherries or mint leaves for an extra pop of color. You can also dust the cake lightly with powdered sugar to give it a finished look.

Conclusion

Making an angel cherry cake is a straightforward process, but there are several tips to keep in mind to ensure that the cake comes out perfect. Ensure that you use fresh ingredients, use room temperature ingredients, use proper mixing techniques, bake the cake at the right temperature and time, and decorate it appropriately. By following these tips and techniques, you'll end up with an angel cherry cake that not only looks beautiful but tastes incredible.
