Save to BigOven
- 2 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 2/3 cup butter or margarine
- 3 large eggs
- 1 cup buttermilk
- 5 1/2 cups sifted confectioners' sugar
- 3/4 cup softened butter
- 6 tablespoons Maraschino cherry juice
- 2 drops red food coloring
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup chopped Maraschino cherries
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Sift the flour, sugar, baking powder and baking soda together, in a large bowl. Add the butter, eggs and buttermilk. Beat, with an electric mixer set at low speed, for 1/2 minute to blend. Beat for an additional 3 minutes at medium speed.
Pour the batter into two greased and floured 9-inch cake pans.
Bake in oven for 25 minutes or until the cake tests done. Cool in pans on racks for 10 minutes. Remove from the pans and finish cooling.
Combine the sifted confectioners' sugar, butter, juice, food coloring and vanilla extract in a bowl. Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Add 1 more tablespoon of cherry juice, if necessary, to bring the frosting to a spreading consistency.
Spread the top of one layer with the Cherry Frosting. Sprinkle with all of the chopped cherries. Place the second layer on top and spread the sides and top with the remaining frosting. Garnish with whole cherries if desired.
