Ingredients

Scale
  • FOR THE CAKE:
  • 30 ounces maraschino cherries (three 10-ounce jars)
  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 teaspoons almond extract
  • 4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • FOR THE GLAZE:
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • cup maraschino cherry juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
  • 1–2 tablespoons heavy cream or milk** (only if needed to thin the glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 12-cup bundt pan.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a large bowl, combine sugar, milk, oil, eggs, and almond extract. Beat until well combined.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Gently fold in the maraschino cherries.
  6. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan and smooth the top.
  7. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. For the glaze, whisk together powdered sugar, melted butter, maraschino cherry juice, and almond extract until smooth.
  10. Drizzle the glaze over the cooled cake.

Notes

Tips: To ensure the cake releases from the pan, make sure to grease and flour it properly. If using more cherries, adjust the baking time accordingly. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
