Cherry cake

Ingredients:

300 gr flour

150 gr butter, room temperature

100 gr sugar

20 gr vanilla sugar

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

10 gr baking powder

200 gr sour cream or greek yogurt

100 ml brandy

200 gr cherries, pitted

Icing sugar for serving

Instructions:

1. In a bowl, add cherries, brandy and vanilla sugar. Gently, mix with a spatula to combine.

2. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.

3. Preheat the oven at 180 C.

4. Grease a baking tray with a little butter and line with parchment paper.

5. In a bowl, add sugar and butter. Mix until creamy and lighter in color.

6. Add eggs, one at a time, mixing well between each addition.

7. Add sour cream and vanilla extract. Mix to incorporate.

8. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt.

9. Strain the cherries, saving all the juices released with the brandy.

10. In the egg mixture, add flour mixture and the juices from the cherries, alternating dry-wet-dry-wet-dry. The batter should resemble a smooth dough. You can add a little more flour if necessary.

11. Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray. The batter should be thin, about 2 cm high.

12. Scatter the cherries over the batter.

13. Bake for 20-30 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

14. Let cool (almost) completely before cutting.

15. Dust icing sugar on top and enjoy!
