Rich Cherry Cake and Cherry frosting

Today let’s see how to make a Rich Cherry Cake and Cherry Frosting . I know cherries aren’t in season, but stay tuned to know. Cherries are a perfect fruit in baked goodies and as you all know it always goes well with chocolate. As we use it in Black Forest cake all the time, but today I am gonna make Cherry Vanilla Cake.
Cherries go well with Vanilla too, I found it only after baking this delicious cherry cake. I have flavored it with Ossoro’s Greek Cherry Essence as I never miss my Baking partner! You can find it in the below link.
To get the true flavor of cherry, I have used reduced pure of it to make this Rich Cherry Cake and cherry frosting.

How to make reduced Cherry puree?

I have used tinned cherries for this. Pit and de-stem the Cherries. Grind the cherries to paste. In a heavy bottom sauce pan, place the paste and boil it till reduced to a thick consistency. You can store it in freezer for long.
So when you use this reduced puree it will really enhance the flavor. I have also used this reduced puree for whipped cream. Once whipped the cream, you have to add puree and fold in gently.
