As a kid, Cherry Chip Cake was one of my favorites
- For the Maraschino Cake:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
- 2 cups all-purpose flour (I prefer unbleached flour)
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup whole milk
- 1/2 cup maraschino cherry juice
- 2 teaspoons almond extract
- 2 tablespoons flour for sprinkling over diced cherries
- 10 oz bottle maraschino cherries, finely chopped (equals about 8 oz. cherries)
- 1-2 Tbsp. Cherry Concentrate (optional: I buy this, online, from King Arthur Flour)
- Drop or two of red food coloring, or Americolor Deep Pink food coloring gel *optional (NOTE: I didn't use this, and the cake turned out a pretty pink)
- 4 egg whites, beaten to stiff peaks
- Vanilla Swiss Meringue Buttercream Frosting:
- 5 egg whites
- 1 cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 pound (4 sticks) unsalted butter, cubed, at room temperature
- 3 teaspoons vanilla extract

- TIP: I make a lot of egg custard ice cream, so don't throw away the egg whites after you separate the eggs. I freeze my egg whites. I used thawed egg whites for both recipes, and the results were great!
