Preparation time: 15 minutes (excluding cooling time) Total time: 3 hours and 15 minutes Number of servings: 8-10 Ingredients - 300 g fresh or frozen pitted sour cherries - 150 g powdered sugar - 500 g sour cherry yogurt - 200 g ladyfingers - 200 ml liquid cream - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 1 packet of cream stabilizer (optional) - 10 g gelatin granules - 1 box of "Ceva fin" cheese with cream (approximately 200 g) - 1 cup of sour cherry syrup (can also be syrup from sour cherry jam) Brief history of the recipe The yogurt and sour cherry cake has its roots in the culinary tradition of combining dairy with fruit, a common practice in many cultures. This simple recipe has evolved over time, becoming popular due to its creamy texture and vibrant flavor. It is a versatile dessert that can be easily adapted by using different types of fruits or flavored yogurts. Step by step 1. Preparing the gelatin: In a small pot, add 10 g of gelatin granules and let it soak for 10 minutes in cold water. Once it has swollen, place the pot over a water bath, stirring constantly until the gelatin completely dissolves. This will help the cake have a firm texture and not fall apart. 2. Preparing the sour cherries: Wash the sour cherries under a stream of cold water and, if they are not already pitted, carefully remove the pits. If using frozen sour cherries, ensure they are thawed beforehand. 3. Mixing the cheese: In a large bowl, add the "Ceva fin" cheese with cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla sugar. Mix the ingredients with a mixer on low speed until they become a smooth and creamy mixture. 4. Incorporating the yogurt and sour cherries: Add the sour cherry yogurt and prepared sour cherries to the cheese mixture. Pour in the dissolved gelatin and mix well to combine the composition. 5. Whipping the cream: In another bowl, whip the liquid cream until it becomes firm (until it leaves well-defined traces from the whisks). If you want a more stable cream, you can add a packet of cream stabilizer. 6. Combining the whipped cream with the yogurt mixture: Add the whipped cream to the yogurt and cheese mixture, gently folding in circular motions to avoid losing air from the cream. 7. Assembling the cake: Line a baking dish with plastic wrap. At the bottom, place a layer of sour cherries. Meanwhile, prepare the sour cherry syrup (diluted with a little water if too concentrated) and dip the ladyfingers in it, then place them vertically in the dish, cutting them to the height of the dish. This step will create a solid base for the yogurt cream. 8. Pouring the cream: After lining the dish with ladyfingers, pour the yogurt and sour cherry mixture. Smooth the surface with a spatula, then place another 5 ladyfingers on top for a more appealing look. 9. Cooling: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours, preferably overnight, so the cake sets well. 10. Serving: Once cooled, turn the cake out onto a serving platter, carefully removing the plastic wrap. Decorate with whipped cream and, if desired, add some sour cherries on top for an even more appetizing appearance. Useful tips - Alternative with other fruits: You can try this recipe with other seasonal fruits such as strawberries, raspberries, or peaches. Each variation offers a unique taste and different aroma. - For a more intense flavor: Add a little lemon or orange zest to the cheese mixture to enhance the flavors. - Storing the cake: The yogurt and sour cherry cake stores well in the refrigerator, covered, for 3-4 days.

Frequently asked questions - Can I use natural yogurt instead of sour cherry yogurt? Yes, you can use natural yogurt, but you will need to add a little sugar and vanilla essence to compensate for the lack of flavor. - Is it possible to make the cake without gelatin? Gelatin is essential for achieving a firm texture, but you can try vegan alternatives like agar-agar. - What drinks pair well with this cake?
