Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease two 9-inch round cake pans.
In one bowl, mix flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
In another bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
Add eggs one at a time to the butter mixture, mixing well after each addition; then stir in vanilla extract.
Combine buttermilk with cherry syrup in a separate bowl.
Alternately add the dry ingredients and buttermilk mixture to the butter mixture until just combined.
Divide batter into prepared pans and bake for about 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Cool cakes in pans for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
Whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form for frosting.
Assemble by layering whipped cream between cake layers, adding more cherry syrup and cherries as desired.
