It’s that time of the month my dear foodie friends when the #FoodieMamas come back and share an epic round up of amazing recipes all with one ingredient in common… and this month, Emily from The Best of This Life chose cherries!

What a fantastic fruit, don’t you think? I love cherries and bought a big ol’ bag of them to make this recipe. It turns out I still have half a bag left so that means I get to create something else using these little rubies. #SuperExcited

Today though, I thought I would make something perfect along side an afternoon cup of coffee or tea. With the beautiful weather we’ve been having this week, the thought of grabbing a slice and sitting on the patio with an iced coffee while Hazel sleeps seems to be the ‘thing’. And really… I’m not complaining. I love spending as much time outdoors as I can. Who’s with me?

Cherry Crumb Cake

Ingredients:

  • 2 cup cherries, pitted
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup 2% milk
  • 2 cup + 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tsp flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 2 tsp cinnamon, divided
  • 1/2 tsp nutmeg

Directions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
  2. In a mixer with the paddle attachment (or with a hand mixer) on medium-high speed, cream 1/4 cup of butter and the white sugar until light and fluffy.
  3. Add the egg and continue mixing well.
  4. Add the milk and mix until everything is well combined.
  5. In a medium bowl sift 2 cups of flour, and stir in the salt, nutmeg and 1 tsp of cinnamon.
  6. With the mixer on low, slowly incorporate the flour mixture into the wet ingredients. Do not over mix.
  7. Once mixed, stir in the cherries. Pour into a greased 9-inch spring form tin. Use the back of a spoon to push the cake to the sides and evening out the top.
  8. In a small bowl add the remaining flour, cinnamon and brown sugar. Using a pastry knife or two butter knives cut in the 1/4 cup of butter until you get a corase consistency… think chunky sand.
  9. Add the crumble to the top of the cake, and place in the oven to bake for about 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick come out clean.
  10. When cooling, keep in the tin for the first 15 minutes on a wire rack. Remove the sides and cool another 10 minutes before lifting off the bottom.
  11. Serve with a cup of coffee or tea, and maybe a HUGE scoop of french vanilla ice-cream!

  1. Love cherries but they are so expensive over here. I did find a few stores selling frozen ones so they will have to do – thank you for sharing the recipe!

  2. Where is the baking powder in the cherry crumb cake? Will it rise? Saw 2 tsp of flour in the recipe and wondering if it should have been baking powder.
