Ingredients

• 2.25 cups Cake flour
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil
• 7 Large egg yolks
• 0.75 cup Water
• 1.5 teaspoons Pure vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Almond extract
• 7 Large egg whites
• 0.5 teaspoon Cream of tartar
• 0.75 cup Cherry preserves
• 0.5 cup Powdered sugar
• 1 cup Whipping cream
• 0.5 cup Fresh cherries (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Ensure your tube pan is clean, dry, and ungreased.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, sift together the cake flour, granulated sugar (reserve 1/4 cup for the egg whites), baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the vegetable oil, egg yolks, water, vanilla extract, and almond extract. Beat the mixture until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 4

In a separate large bowl, combine egg whites and cream of tartar. Using a hand or stand mixer, beat on medium-high speed until foamy. Gradually add the reserved 1/4 cup granulated sugar and continue beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.

Step 5

Gently fold the egg yolk mixture into the beaten egg whites in three additions. Use a spatula and fold carefully to avoid deflating the mixture.

Step 6

Pour the batter into the ungreased tube pan. Run a knife through the batter to remove any air bubbles, and smooth the top.

Step 7

Bake for 55-60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted near the center comes out clean.

Step 8

Immediately invert the pan onto a bottle neck or other stable object to cool completely. This helps maintain the light, airy texture.

Step 9

Once the cake is completely cooled, run a thin knife around the edges and center tube to release it from the pan. Place the cake on a serving plate.

Step 10

Prepare the cherry glaze by whisking together the cherry preserves and powdered sugar in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and just warmed through.

Step 11

Spread the cherry glaze evenly over the top of the cake, letting it drip gracefully down the sides.

Step 12

Whip the cream to soft peaks, and use it to dollop generously around the cake or as a side garnish. Top with fresh cherries for decoration.

Step 13

Slice, serve, and enjoy your Charishma's Mmmmmmmm Cherry Chiffon Delight!
