Sweet Cherries Ooey Gooey Butter Cake
A few weeks ago I was asked when I was going to do another Ooey Gooey Butter Cake. Well, today is that day. The newest Ooey Gooey Cake is made with sweet cherries which I can’t seem to get enough of right now. I’ve been adding them to salads, ice cream and now cake. I hope you enjoy this cake as much as I did creating it.
I left the cherries whole after I pitted them. If you want to halve them I’m sure that would be fine and would also add some color if that’s what you’d like. I use a cherry pitter made by OXO, it works so well and can make fast work of a bucket of cherries. I’ve tried several over the years but since finding this one I haven’t even looked for another one.
