This Cherry Christmas Cake is simple to make, comes together quickly and really tastes like Christmas! Thankfully, frozen cherries are available year round and it’s just such a treat to have a cherry cake in December! I served a slice to my little niece and she found me after she was done to say, “this is the best cake in the whole world!” – in her sweetest 5-year old voice. I about melted.

This is why I will continue to make cakes for my family. It’s such an amazing feeling to watch my nieces, nephews and my own kiddos eyes light up. One of my baby girl’s first words were “cake” (true story). The littles have come to expect my Sunday cakes so if I don’t make one, they’re instantly disappointed and I just can’t have that!

I’m ridiculous about Christmas and pretty much beside myself when we hit December! I’ll be the old lady who’s house is so decorated, you might have a hard time getting through the door!

It’s snowing outside as I type, there’s sweet Christmas music playing in the next room, and the birds are perched in a tree outside my window with snow flurries all over the place. So beautiful! Makes me want a mug of coffee and a slice of cake actually! I hope you love this Cherry Christmas Cake! It’s quite a treat :).

In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat 3 eggs for 1 minute on high speed until foamy. With mixer on, gradually add 1/2 cup sugar and beat together 7 to 8 min on high speed or until a thick ribbon forms when you lift up the batter (if using electric hand mixer, add 2 minutes to mixing time).

2. Whisk together 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 tsp baking powder then sift them in two increments, folding gently into egg mixture with a spatula. Fold just until flour is incorporated without streaks of flour, scraping from the bottom of the bowl to make sure you don’t miss any pockets of flour.

    I made this for Christmas dinner and I was so disappointed. It may have been my fault. I followed the directions exactly but we waited overnight to assemble the cake. The cake part turned out very dry and dense. Was that the problem that I didn’t assemble it immediately? The whipped cream and the cherry part were delicious.

      Hi Patricia, could the cake have been overcooked? If the cake is left out overnight without being fully wrapped in plastic wrap, it can get dried out so that definitely could be the reason. Also, the syrup from the cherries will help soften up the cake since it is a sponge cake and it relies on syrups to become moist.

    Do the cherries have to be frozen? Can I just use the same maraschino cherries from the jar?

      December 26, 2021

      Hi Andy, I definitely prefer cherries either fresh or frozen. The maraschino cherries won’t have that sweet and tangy contrast and I think you’d miss it in this cake. I haven’t experimented with maraschino either so I can’t recommend them.

    My 11 year old and I just tried to make this and it appears to have caved in during the baking time. He will be devastated when he comes back inside…is that what happens if we overmix it because I’m afraid that’s what we might have done…

I made it a bit smaller (18 cm form) so I used 2/3 of the ingredients, it worked perfectly. On the second day, it was even better 🙂 Highly recommend everyone to try this one 🙂

    I made it but my cream cheese frosting was far too runny, any idea why?

    Reply

    • Natasha
      December 24, 2019

      Hi Sally, it could be due to using cream cheese that was over softened or using regular whipping cream (which doesn’t beat as well) rather than HEAVY whipping cream with higher fat content. Also, make sure to beat the whipped cream adequately until it is stiff and spreadable. I hope that helps to troubleshoot.

        Yeah, I think it was because I used normal whipping cream, and then overmixed it.

If you make it that way, I would love to see your creation! 🙂 Tag me and let me know so I can see it 🙂

      Hi Kim, I think you could make that work, just keep in mind raspberries can be juicier and shrink down when heated so you won’t have as thick of a layer of fruit – I almost feel like fresh raspberries coated in a warmed raspberry jam might work better.

      That is really tough and I’m not sure I have anything like that besides fruit; maybe you could try pineapple boats which are cute and fun for kids to eat. You could also make fruit leather and just make sure it’s really ripe and sweet fruit if you’re not adding sugar.

    This cake looks delicious! One question though, can i use sour cherries in syrup instead? If yes, would I have to add anything?
    Thank you for all of your delicious recipes, and easy-to-follow instructions! I’m so glad I came across your blog! 🙂

      Hi Kia, you may need to add sugar to taste with sour cherries but I do think sour cherries would taste nice 🙂

      Hi Anna! 🙂 Here is a really easy and helpful tutorial that I came across. It’s really easy when you have that frosting tip that I linked to in the post. I hope this helps! 🙂

    You were sweet enough to bring this yummy goodness to bible study:) and it was a perfect mix of tang and sweet , highly reccomend it to those of you that don’t like your cakes overly sweet! And it’s adorable, that’s a bonus

      Thanks Katya!! My Mom makes them too. I have her recipe posted here 🙂 And they always disappear fast! This year I’m experimenting with a different variation, hopefully I’ll finish testing in time for Christmas 🙂
