Follow The Directions

01

Step
10 mins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 9-inch round cake pans. (Prep time: 10 minutes)

02

Step
5 mins

In a large mixing bowl, cream together softened butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

03

Step
7 mins

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with the chopped cherry pie filling. Mix until just combined; do not overmix. (Prep time: 7 minutes)

04

Step
3 mins

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cake pans. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

05

Step
33 mins

Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. (Bake time: 30-35 minutes)

06

Step
1 hrs

Let the cakes cool in the pans for 10 minutes before inverting them onto a wire rack to cool completely. (Cool time: 1 hour)

07

Step
5 mins

For the frosting, in a large mixing bowl, beat together softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy. Gradually add in milk and vanilla extract. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

08

Step
5 mins

Slowly incorporate the sifted confectioners' sugar, mixing until the frosting is smooth and of desired consistency. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

09

Step
15 mins

Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate. Spread a generous layer of frosting over the top. Repeat with the remaining layers. Frost the sides and top of the cake. (Assembly time: 15 minutes)

10

Step
10 mins

Decorate with halved red and green candied cherries in a wreath pattern, if desired. (Decoration time: 10 minutes)

11

Step
30 mins

Chill the cake for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the frosting to set. (Chill time: 30 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter in the cake batter.
Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature for optimal mixing.
To prevent sticking, line the bottom of the cake pans with parchment paper rounds.
If the frosting is too thick, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until desired consistency is reached.
This cake can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
