How to Make Cherry Chip Cake Mix
Want to make some delicious Cherry Chip Cake Mix? Let me show you how! The only supplies you will need are four cups of flour, one and a half cups of sugar, three quarters of a cup of oil, one cup of buttermilk, two eggs, one tsp of vanilla extract, and two cups of dried cherries or chip cherries. You will also need an oven at 350 degrees F, which should take about 20 minutes to heat up. So let’s get started!
What you need
• 1 bag of cherry chip cake mix • 1⁄2 cup of cinnamon chips • 11⁄2 tsp. Baking powder • 1⁄2 tsp. Salt • 2 Tbsp. Margarine, melted Instructions: 1.) Pour contents into a medium sized bowl and stir until well blended (about 3 minutes). 2.) Split batter evenly between 4 large coffee cups or containers with lids (approximately 3⁄4 cup each). 3.) Cover tightly and store in refrigerator until you’re ready to use them. 4.) Heat oven to 350 degrees F and bake for 18-22 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. 5.) Cool completely before frosting or enjoying warm with ice cream!
Step 1 - Measure, measure, measure
Accurately measuring ingredients is important in cooking, but especially so when you're making a cake. Measure dry ingredients like sugar and flour using a standard measuring cup with a spout. For liquids, use a liquid measuring cup or microwave-safe bowl. Remember that measurements should always be level unless otherwise noted, so don't pack any of your dry ingredients into your measuring cups and make sure that you haven't overfilled your liquid measures with too much water or milk. We also recommend checking out our guide on how to measure correctly for more tips!
Step 2 - Add the cherry chips
It’s possible to add cherry chips straight into your recipe, but we found that they dissolve as you’re mixing in other ingredients, turning them a mushy red color. One way around that is to freeze them first (we let ours sit for about 10 minutes), which makes them easier to measure out and also prevents any color from seeping into your batter. If you have time, thaw your chips in advance so they can melt slowly on their own while your cake bakes. The effect: each layer of chips will melt at different rates, giving each bite a combination of texture and flavor.
Step 3 - Do NOT over-mix
While it's important not to under-mix, it's just as critical not to over-mix batter. Over-mixing will cause gluten development, which results in a tough or rubbery cake. When done properly, your cake should be light and spongy. If you're adding fruit or nuts (as is often done with Bundt cakes), be sure they are finely ground and evenly distributed throughout. Gently fold them into your batter at the end of mixing so they don't break down during vigorous stirring.
Step 4 - Let it sit overnight
The cake mix should be refrigerated overnight, so you’ll need to get started on making it at least a day before you plan on serving it. Combine all of your ingredients in a large bowl and stir well. The dry ingredients will dissolve over time and start to look more like wet sand rather than loose powder. You’ll know when it’s ready when there is no trace of flour remaining; if there is any, then your mix won’t bake up right, so keep mixing until everything disappears. Once you are sure that all of your dry ingredients have been dissolved into a uniform wet substance, store it in an airtight container in your fridge for 1-2 days until you are ready to bake.

Best served warm with ice cream and candied cherries, this scrumptious dish will quickly become your favorite dessert to serve when you have guests over.

Ingredients you need
All purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar. For Cherry Chips: 1 cup dried cherries, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon. You will also need 2 large eggs, 2/3 cup vegetable oil, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Use an electric mixer to mix together your flour with your baking powder and salt in a small bowl until combined. In another small bowl combine your sugar with one cup of dried cherries that have been cut into small pieces (about half of them). Sift both bowls together in a large bowl until mixed well. The rest should be sifted through a fine mesh strainer before being placed in your mixer.
Add the ingredients into a bowl
1 cup flour, 2 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp salt, 1 stick of butter softened and 3⁄4 cup white sugar. Add two eggs and stir them together. Then add 1⁄2 cup milk and 1⁄2 tsp vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients together until it is well combined then use a pastry blender to mix in about 1⁄2 cups of chopped maraschino cherries (about 12 cherries). This will produce a sweeter cake. If you want your cake to be less sweet add 1⁄4 cups instead of 1⁄2 cup of chopped maraschino cherries. You can also replace some or all of them with dried cherries or blueberries for a fruity alternative to chocolate chips.
Lightly mix everything together
one cup of flour, two tablespoons of sugar, and one teaspoon of salt. After that, add one-and-one-half teaspoons of baking powder to everything you’ve just mixed together. Once that’s done, lightly mix it again for about thirty seconds and you’re almost ready to make your Cherry Chip Cake!
Transfer into a cake pan
If you’re making a Cherry Chip Cake, transfer your batter into a cake pan. If you’re using a round cake pan, use 2/3 of the batter to fill up 3⁄4 of your cake pan. Then add 1⁄4 of cherry pie filling (or preserves) to each side and evenly spread it out with an offset spatula or butter knife. Use a small spoon or offset spatula to even out both sides until it looks great! Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes and let cool before icing. Using boxed mixes is not for amateurs, but if you know what you’re doing, then go for it! Follow our directions above for more detailed steps on how to make Cherry Chip Cake Mix!
Bake at 350°F
Set a baking pan on top of a baking sheet and preheat your oven to 350°F. If you’re making your own batter, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt in a large bowl. In another bowl or a standing mixer with paddle attachment, beat eggs on high speed until creamy and pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Reduce speed to medium-low; add butter and vanilla extract; beat until well combined. Add sour cream and mix until just incorporated (do not overmix). Gradually add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and mix until smooth (if you’re using ready-made cake mix for convenience, simply follow package instructions). Fold in cherries once batter is smooth; set aside.
