Cakes With Cherries: 3 Delicious Recipes

Cakes with cherries are marvelous because you can make them all year round. In the summer, you can enjoy fresh cherries, but in the colder seasons, you will need to open canned ones.

We offer you three different but very delicious cakes with cherries. Such desserts are not only incredibly tasty, but also practical, and the combination of cherries with sour cream provides a gentle sweet-and-sour taste.

Pancho

Ingredients:

• 5 eggs;
• 12 oz (340 g) sugar;
• 2 lb (900 g) sour cream;
• ⅔ oz (20 g) cocoa;
• 2 tsp baking powder;
• 9 oz (255 g) flour;
• 10 ½ oz (300 g) cherries;
• 3 ½ oz (100 g) almonds.

Instructions:

1. First, prepare the dough. To do this, combine eggs, 7 oz (200 g) of sugar, 7 oz (200 g) of sour cream (with 20% fat content), sifted flour and baking powder, and mix.
2. Divide the dough into two parts, add cocoa to one and mix.
3. Put a piece of the cocoa dough in a mold and pop it in the oven preheated to 360 °F for 20 minutes. Do the same with the portion without cocoa.
4. Accurately cut the white sponge cake into two layers — the bottom one will be the base of the cake. Cut the top layer into cubes. Cut the brown sponge cake into cubes as well.
5. Prepare the cream. Grind nuts, cut cherries in half. Combine 1 ½ lb (700 g) sour cream with the remaining sugar.
6. Mix the sugar and cream mass with nuts and berries, then spread a fraction of the resulting mixture on the cake. Roll the little cubes of the cake in the remaining cream and lay them out on top.
7. Put the cake in the refrigerator overnight. Decorate with melted chocolate before serving.

I am an English major with a love of languages and fiction, and with an incurable travel bug. In my free time, I read fantasy, drink copious amounts of coffee, and like to go see movies. Culinary art means everything to me. My main hypostasis is the taster, though. The music school has taught me to appreciate the symphony of airy meringues, to create harmonious overtures of light snacks, hard rock of meat, fish, and vegetables on the grill. Choir classes have accustomed me to hear and feel the people nearby and create perfect harmonies of sounds.
