This is the kind of cake you eat when it’s technically Summer. Key word: technically.

But since it won’t stop snowing, and the thermometer won’t move past 35 F, we decided that a Cherry Bundt Cake should definitely be this month’s #Bundtamonth theme.

Well, technically, it wasn’t me that decided. It was our beautiful #Bundtamonth hostesses with the mostesses, Lora from Cake Duchess and Anuradha from Chocolate Cherry Bundt Cake. 

On a side note:

Here’s how you can be a part of Bundt-a-Month:
– Simple rule: Use cherries and bake us a Cherry Bundt for April
– Post it before April 30, 2013.
– Use the #BundtAMonth hashtag in your title. (For ex: title should read #BundtAMonth: Chocolate Cinnamon Bundt)
– Add your entry to the Linky tool below
– Link back to Lora and Anuradha’s announcement posts.

Back to the cake.

At first I wanted to do a chocolate and cherry cake, but I already have that cake on here; Quick Cherry and Chocolate Cake.  My next option was yogurt. Not sure why yogurt, but that’s what popped in my head – yogurt and cherries.

After a scan or two of my fridge and pantry, I found a jar of maraschino cherries, a cup of yogurt, and some brown sugar… I was ready to whip up this cake. Then, because I just wasn’t feelin’ my bundt pan, I decided to go with some minis. I think that was a great decision. I stuffed my face with 2 of them, and when I reached for the 3rd, my daughter reminded me that I already had 2…

The cherries and yogurt pair beautifully in this delicate cake. The yogurt helps keep the cake moist, while the maraschino cherries add a subtle sweet flavor.

I’ll tell you what. If you have some maraschino cherries, get ready and bake this Cherry Bundt Cake. It’s moist, sweet, soft, and pillowy!

Also, you might want to hide a couple of cakes for later … it kinda sucks when a 3-year old tells you that you ate too much cake.

ENJOY!

      Hi!
      Thank you for bringing this to my attention. The bundt cakes should be baked at 350˚F.
      I’m sorry for the missing step, though. I shared this recipe exactly 7 years ago. In the meantime, I have gone through several different recipe plugins, website updates, redesigns, and so forth; during those updates and processes, some information and recipes just didn’t transfer completely. Again, my apologies, and thank you for pointing it out.

  1. I love mini bundt. One of these days I WILL join in, bundtamonth always looks so fun.

    these sound SO GOOD – very unique!

    Mini-bundts are always so cute, and yours look absolutely beautiful, Kate! I have no mini bundt pans yet, only a normal one, and I really need to buy them very soon 🙂 Love your photography!

  4. I have always had maraschino cherries in the refrigerator or cupboard until we moved to Dubai. They are most difficult to find here and I don’t know why! I finally brought two jars back from the States last week so I am in business! What beautiful little Bundts you have created! And that third cake? Is why three-year-old have earlier bedtimes than mothers.
