How to Make Pine Nut Cake With Poached Cherries And Caramel Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9-inch springform pan.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon baking soda, and ¼ teaspoon salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, cream together ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  5. In a small bowl, combine ½ cup pine nuts and ¼ cup milk. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, alternating with the creamed butter mixture, beginning and ending with the dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Poach cherries: In a saucepan, combine 1 cup fresh or frozen cherries, ¼ cup water, ¼ cup sugar and 1 tablespoon lemon juice. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until cherries are tender.
  7. Pour batter into the prepared pan and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes before releasing the springform.
  9. Once completely cool, top with the poached cherries and drizzle generously with your favorite caramel sauce.
  10. Serve and enjoy!
