Cherry-Vanilla Bundt Cake

Cut into this sugar-dusted beauty to reveal a river of cherries.

ACTIVE TIME 20 MINUTES

TOTAL TIME 2 HOURS, 20 MINUTES

MAKES 10 SLICES

Baking spray with flour

3 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. kosher salt

1 tsp. baking powder

1/2 tsp. baking soda

2 cups granulated sugar

1 cup plain whole-milk yogurt

2/3 cup neutral oil (such as canola)

2 large eggs, plus 1 egg white 

1 Tbsp. pure vanilla extract

1 cup cherry pie filling (from a 21-oz. can)

Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

PREHEAT oven to 350°F with rack in center position. Spray a 10-cup Bundt pan with baking spray. (Or use regular cooking spray and dust with flour.)

WHISK flour, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a large bowl. Whisk granulated sugar, yogurt, oil, eggs, egg white, and vanilla in a separate large bowl. Stir wet ingredients into dry ingredients just until smooth.

TRANSFER about two-thirds of batter to prepared pan. Spoon cherry pie filling on top, being careful not to let filling touch sides of pan. Top with remaining batter.

BAKE until a toothpick inserted in center comes out mostly clean, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool in pan for 15 minutes. Invert onto a wire rack, remove pan, and let cool completely, about 1 hour. Dust with confectioners' sugar just before serving.
