How To Make austrian cherry walnut cake

  • 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Butter and lightly flour a 9-inch square baking dish; set aside.
  • 2
    In a large mixing bowl, toss the halved cherries with 5 Tbsp flour until coated. Add the butter, and beat until soft. Add sugar and continue beating until mixture is light and fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time and beating well after each addition.
  • 3
    Alternately fold in remaining flour and milk, starting with and ending with flour. Fold in the flour-coated cherries, walnuts and coconut.
  • 4
    Spoon mixture in an even layer in the prepared baking dish, and bake for 50 to 60 minutes until toothpick comes out clean.

    Remove baking dish from oven and let cool in pan completely before slicing.
