Cherry Cake Recipe (Only 4 Ingredients)
Description
This Cherry Cake Recipe is constructed from puff pastry sheets sliced into strips that are tightly wrapped around drained sour cherries to prevent juice leakage during baking. The spiraled dough is baked at 400°F until golden brown and flaky. After cooling, dulce de leche is combined with very cold whipped heavy cream until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth, sweet cream layer.
The cake is assembled by layering the pastry spirals with the dulce de leche cream, finishing with cream and optional leftover cherries for decoration. The dessert balances the buttery crispness of the puff pastry with the tartness of cherries and sweetness of the cream filling, delivering multiple textures and flavors.
This minimal-ingredient recipe offers a straightforward but elegant cake suitable for showcasing simple pantry staples and seasonal fruit.
Ingredients
- 2 Puff pastry sheets
- 56 oz sour cherry juice drained, in syrup
- 13 oz dulce de leche
- 2 cups heavy cream very cold, whipped
Instructions
- Roll out your puff pastry. Slice into 3-inch wide strips.
- Drain the syrup out of the cherries. Place cherries tightly next to each other on the piece of dough. Pinch the edges together to seal the cherries inside, making sure that none of the juice seeps out.
- Line two 8-inch baking pans with parchment paper. Wind the pieces of dough around one another, spiraling until you get a circular cake.
- Bake at 400°F for 25 minutes, or until the cake is golden brown. If the cherries come out, that's fine, they will eventually be covered by cream. Remove the cake from the baking pan and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Place dulce de leche into a mixing bowl and add very cold heavy cream. Beat on medium-high until you get stiff peaks.
- Place a bit of cream on your serving plate. Top with first cake layer.
- Add more cream and spread it evenly. Top it off with a second layer.
- Decorate the cake with remaining cream and leftover cherries as you like. Place the cake in a sealed container and let it set in a fridge overnight.
