Pumpkin Apple Streusel Bundt Cake is a doctored cake mix with pumpkin puree with a layer of delicious streusel filling in the center when baked.

You will love the fall flavors with bits of apples in this streusel filling with any hot beverage.

The bundt cake makes this easy to slice for guests and there are numerous serving suggestions below.

The filling is a classic butter, flour, cinnamon, and brown sugar streusel that makes this a favorite coffee cake with pumpkin lovers.

Then if you want to make this for hosting a party serve it up with a dusting of powdered sugar, a light icing drizzle, or top it with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nuts to serve to guests.

Maraschino Cherry Cake

Wednesday, February 8, 2023
This maraschino cherry cake, which is all made from scratch, is a delicious, moist dessert cake, and we often bake this in a heart-shaped pan on Valentine's Day for that special someone.

To skip through all the tasks and ads, hit PRINT on the recipe card at the end, and all will go away! Thanks for understanding and for your patience.

The recipe is from the 1940s that my mom made, and since then, I have made this in her memory since 1999, when she passed away.

The cake is a white light cake made with just egg whites, cake flour (which I have included a DIY recipe for cake flour below), eggs, cherry juice, and maraschino jarred cherries.

Mom's homemade from-scratch recipe for this moist Maraschino Cherry Cake recipe is not only easy to make, but it is absolutely as delicious as it looks.

Anyone you make this for will not only be impressed with this pretty cherry cake but also fall for the fantastic creamy cherry-topped icing!

Mom would also add pecans to her recipe below; however, our family has excluded them due to the many food allergies, so I leave them out.

We have two frosting recipes below, one is a vintage buttercream cherry frosting, and the other is a 7-minute style frosting. The cake will make two 9-inch cakes; we usually make two and freeze one for another time.

For the complete recipe, scroll all the way down to the bottom where you will find a printable recipe card on this page and hit print.
