How to make Cherry Cake

Step 1
In a bowl, place the butter at room temperature and the sugar, beating until a light, fluffy, and smooth cream forms.
Step 2
Add the eggs one at a time to the mixture, mixing well after adding each one. Finally, add the sifted flour, alternating with the orange juice.
Step 3
To the cake batter, add the cherries last. Beforehand, lightly coat the cherries in flour to prevent them from sinking to the bottom during baking.
Step 4
Pour the cake batter into a mold that has been greased and floured, and bake in a preheated oven at 160°C (320°F) for about 45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Step 5
Remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool before unmolding.
