Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC). Grease a tube pan or angel food pan generously with butter and lightly flour it, or line the bottom with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs until they are thick, pale yellow, and ribbon-like in texture.
  3. Gradually add the sugar to the beaten eggs, continuing to beat until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. In a separate small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture using a spatula, being careful not to deflate the batter. Mix just until combined.
  7. Warm the beer slightly in a microwave or saucepan until it is just warm to the touch (not hot).
  8. Quickly stir the warm beer and melted butter into the batter all at once. Mix gently until smooth.
  9. Drain the maraschino cherries and fold them gently into the batter.
  10. Pour the batter into the prepared pan.
  11. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  12. Remove from the oven and immediately prick the top of the warm cake multiple times with a skewer or knife.
  13. Drizzle the remaining 4 tablespoons of warm beer over the pricked cake while it is still in the pan.
  14. Let the cake cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
