The indescribable taste of cherries is set off by chocolate, whipped cream, almond cream and liqueur. You won't be able to resist.

But do not forget to rinse the cherries well before cooking, remove the seeds from them and transfer to a bowl. While you prepare the dough, the juice will drain from the berries. It needs to be drained as excess liquid can change the structure of the cake.

1. Whipped cherry pie

Ingredients

• 150 g softened butter;
• 180 g sugar + 2 tablespoons for sprinkling;
• ⅛ teaspoon of salt;
• 4 eggs;
• 200 g flour;
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• a pinch of vanillin;
• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil;
• 500 g cherries;
• 3 tablespoons of powdered sugar.

Preparation

Beat the butter and sugar with a mixer. Add salt and beat eggs into the mixture in turn, stirring after each addition until smooth.

Sift flour and combine with baking powder and vanilla. Pour the flour into the mixture in portions and beat with a mixer. You will have a fairly thick dough.

Grease a baking dish with vegetable oil and spread the dough over it. Put the berries on top, pressing them slightly inward.

Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the cake and place in an oven preheated to 180 ° C for 30-40 minutes. Depending on the size of the mold, it may take a little longer. Check the readiness with a toothpick: if you stick it into the cake, there should be no dough left on it.

Garnish with icing sugar before serving.
