Ingredients:
- 3 Owner
- 150 g Butter
- 150g sugar
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar (10 g)
- 200 g Flour
- 1 packet of baking powder (10 g)
- 200g Stage
- 200 g sour cherries (more if desired)
First line a baking tray with baking paper (or grease and dust with flour) and preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Put the butter, sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl and mix until creamy. This may take a few minutes. Then add the eggs one at a time. To prevent the mixture from curdling, you must wait until each egg is fully incorporated and then move on to the next one. When all the eggs are incorporated, pour in the cream. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, mix the flour with the baking powder and slowly add it to the egg mixture.
When everything is fully incorporated, you should have a smooth batter that you can pour onto a large baking sheet. The dough should be really thin, just under 2 centimeters.
Scatter the cherries over the dough, making sure not to press them directly into the dough. As the dough rises it will cover them and this way they won't sink all the way to the bottom. If you think that 200 grams of sour cherries is not enough, feel free to add more, but do not oversaturate the dough with cherries. Bake the dough at 180 degrees Celsius until it turns a golden brown color. This will take about 20 minutes, but keep an eye on the cake. If your oven tends to burn cakes easily, you may want to turn the heat down a bit.
Once the cake is fully baked, you can serve it after sprinkling some icing sugar over the slices.
