Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 0.75 cups Granulated sugar
• 1.5 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.5 cups Unsalted butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cups Milk
• 1.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 1 cups Cherries (pitted and halved)
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoons Almond extract

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In a separate large bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter until smooth. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.

Step 4

Stir in the milk and vanilla extract until fully combined.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the cherries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 7

Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a cake comes out clean.

Step 9

Allow the mini cakes to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

While the cakes are cooling, prepare the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, heavy cream, and almond extract in a small bowl until smooth.

Step 11

Drizzle the glaze over the cooled mini cakes. Let it set for a few minutes before serving.

Step 12

Enjoy your Cherry Mini Cakes as a delightful treat!
