Sour cherry cake
Ingredients
This is a very common cake here which can be done using apricots, peaches, apples, cherries, sour cherries (most common), etc. fresh. It's quite simple and done by all grandmothers for their grandsons :)
3 eggs
1 cup milk
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
1 tbs baking powder
1/2 cup oil or melted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 kg fresh fruits with no kernel if it applies to the fruit type
How to make Sour cherry cake
remove the fruits kernel if it's the case
separate the egg whites and beat them until solid
add the sugar, egg yolks, milk
mix the flour with the baking powder and add to the composition while mixing it
add the butter and the vanilla extract
let it rest for 10 minutes while you preheat the oven
mix the fruits with a bit of flour, this will help the fruits to leave too much liquid and keep part of the composition uncooked
pour the composition in a pan then add the fruits on top, don't press them into the dough, they will fall by themselfs
cook for 30 - 45 minutes
be careful when you test the readiness to test around the fruits. As they cook they tend to leave juice which will slow the cooking of the dough around.
