This easy cake has a major wow factor: a cascade of cherries hidden inside the sweet, tender crumb. It looks impressive, but in fact, it’s really simple to pull off. A straightforward cake batter enhanced with yogurt is added to the pan in two batches with a store-bought cherry pie filling sandwiched between. The only big thing to keep in mind is to avoid having the filling touch the sides of the pan. It helps if you run a spoon through the batter to create a well for the cherry filling to fall into. You can make the cake a day ahead. Dust with confectioners’ sugar just before putting it on the table. Ingredients baking spray with flour 3 cups all-purpose flour 1 tsp kosher salt 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 cups granulated sugar 1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt 2/3 cup neutral oil, such as canola oil 2 large eggs, plus 1 egg white 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 cup cherry pie filling (from a 21-oz. can) 1 cup unsifted confectioners' sugar Directions Preheat oven to 350°F with rack in center position. Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with baking spray. (Or use regular cooking spray and dust with flour.) Whisk flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk granulated sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs, egg white, and vanilla in a separate large bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until smooth. Transfer about two-thirds of batter to prepared pan. Spoon cherry pie filling on top, being careful not to let filling touch sides of pan. Top with remaining batter. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack, remove pan, and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Dust with confectioners’ sugar just before serving. Rate It Print
