My daughter is having a birthday party this weekend (sleepover included with her cousin & one friend) and asked me to make her a cherry cake. Now, first of all I don't know how, second I won't for the party, but I offered a compromise for the night before, cherry cupcakes. I am making a half choc/half yellow sheet cake and will have some yellow batter left over that I was going to turn into cherry cupcakes. Anyone know what I could add. I looked around for cherry extract, but didn't find any. I could be looking in the wrong places. Any ideas. I really appreciate it.
Or maybe make the yellow cupcakes, take out a plug and fill with cherry pie filling. You could also bake them and make cherry icing by adding cherry jello to the buttercream. I have made strawberry icing this way and it's good. Just make sure to dissolve the jello first in whatever liquid you'll be using.
I've made a form of Black Forrest Cake using cherry pie filling & chocolate cake, but like Cassandrascakes said-you can try the yellow cake as well. Also, try the following links, you'll find several cherry cake recipes:

One more thing, Betty Crocker makes a Cherry Chip cake that I think is pretty good.
Good Luck,
Gail
