\nThis cake is bright, playful and full of whimsy. I first had visions of this cake a whole year ago, but between holidays and seasonal favorites, it\u2019s been difficult to fit it in. Now that Valentine\u2019s Day has passed and we are waiting for spring\/summer produce (hello berry season!), it is the perfect time to bring out a cake that is just pure fun!<\/p>\n

Packed with maraschino cherries and decorated with an almost retro feel, this cake naturally comes with a sweet side of nostalgia. I imagine it being served at a diner with checkerboard floors and red vinyl booths or at a soda shoppe, where everything is topped with whipped cream and bright red cherries. The pale Tiffany blue frosting was begging\u00a0to be paired with the pink interior. For whatever reason, blue is often synonymous with vanilla-flavored candies (when not representing the ambiguous \u201cblue raspberry\u201d ??), and in this cake, I think the color brings everything to life.<\/p>\n

With syrupy cherries and whipped vanilla frosting, this cake is rather sweet yet delicious. The cake layers themselves are studded with mini chocolate chips, chopped cherries, and tinted light pink with a glug of cherry syrup and a splash of pink food coloring. They are lightened up with whipped egg whites, so be sure to use mini chips and to toss the cherries in a bit of flour to keep these goodies from sinking to the bottom of the cake pan. A thin layer of bittersweet chocolate ganache breaks up some of the sweetness as well as the real vanilla beans in the frosting.<\/p>\n
