I was served last week with a delicious cherry cake and of course I asked for the recipe. My amazement was that the ingredients are very simple, the cake is made quickly and is a delicacy - fluffy, light, beautiful.

The ingredients are for a large oven tray, if you want less reduce the ingredients proportionally.

Ingredients

Metric US

●

Egg

10 pieces

●

Sugar

10 tbsp

●

Water

7 tbsp

water should be hot, boiling

●

White flour

10 tbsp

●

Cherries

1 kg

Corn starch

2 tbsp

Powdered sugar

optional, for decoration

Step by step

Step 1

Peel a squash, grate it and cut it in half.

Step 2

Separate the egg whites from the yolks in 2 large bowls.

Step 3

Add the 10 tablespoons of sugar to the yolks and beat well with the mixer until white foam.

Step 4

In a smaller bowl, prepare a little hot boiling water and a spoon.

Step 5

Turn on the mixer again and while the yolks are beating, add 7 tablespoons of hot water one by one - beat well after each tablespoon.

Step 6

Then beat the egg whites separately - to pass the test with the overturning of the bowl - if they are well, they are ready.

Step 7

Add the egg whites to the yolks and carefully and slowly mix with movements from top to bottom.

Step 8

Then add the flour and also, very slowly and carefully mix all the dough - with movements from top to bottom.

And ready, that's all the dough for the cake.

Step 9

To the cherries add 2 tablespoons of starch or flour and mix - so as not to leave the juice and color in the cake.

Step 10

In an oven tray lined with baking paper (you can optionally grease the paper with a little oil or butter), pour the dough, spread it evenly over the entire surface.

Place the previously prepared cherries on top, spread evenly all over.
