Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar, divided
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, pitted
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 cup heavy cream (for whipped cream topping)

How to Make Cherry Crumble Cake

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9-inch round cake pan and set aside.
2. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and 3/4 cup of granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
3. Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
4. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add this mixture to the butter mixture, stirring until just combined.
5. Fold in the cherries gently, being careful not to break them.
6. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
7. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, remaining 1/4 cup of sugar, cinnamon, and softened butter. Mix until crumbly.
8. Sprinkle the oat mixture evenly over the cake batter.
9. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
11. While the cake cools, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Serve slices of cake topped with a generous dollop of whipped cream.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure your butter is at room temperature for easy creaming with sugar.
• For deeper cherry flavor, consider macerating the cherries in a tablespoon of sugar for about 30 minutes before adding them to the batter.
• Keep an eye on the cake towards the end of the baking time to prevent over-browning.

Easy Variations

• Substitute cherries with blueberries or peaches for a different fruity twist.
• Add a teaspoon of almond extract for a nutty flavor that pairs beautifully with cherries.
• Mix in chopped nuts such as walnuts or pecans into the crumble topping for added texture.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
• A drizzle of chocolate sauce for a rich contrast.
• Fresh berries for a refreshing side.
• A cup of coffee or tea to complement the dessert.
