White Cake with Maraschino Cherry Frosting has three layers of white cake covered in a wonderfully flavored cherry buttercream frosting. It’s a great choice for a holiday cake!

 
The flavor of maraschino cherries brings back memories of childhood. They were always my favorite part of a brownie sundae and I loved to pick them out of a can of fruit cocktail. This was my first time making a maraschino cherry frosting. I thought it would be a fun, kid-friendly frosting to make.
The pinkish color with specks of red makes this cake perfect for the holidays! The flavor will remind you of all those Shirley Temples you drank as a child.
The juice from a jar of maraschino cherries is used to flavor and color the frosting, plus the frosting has lots of chopped up pieces of cherry.
 
Aside from the cherries, what makes this cake so good is the Challenge butter. I use unsalted Challenge butter for both the cake and the frosting. Challenge butter really delivers on quality and taste and it makes delicious tasting cakes, cookies, and pies. It is 100% real cream and farm to fridge in just 2 days. You will not find a fresher tasting butter at the store.

 
I fell in love with this cherry frosting, but I also adore this white cake batter. It bakes up exceptionally moist and tender with a wonderful flavor thanks to the Challenge butter. Best of all, this white cake batter bakes up flat so there’s no need to take a knife to it to get even layers.
