Cherry cake

To prepare a delicious cherry cake, start by washing the fresh cherries well, removing their stems and pits. This step is essential because the pits can ruin both the texture and taste of the cake. Make sure the cherries are ripe but firm to hold up well in the cake mixture.

Next, prepare the ingredients for the batter. Take the eggs at room temperature and separate the egg whites from the yolks. It is important for the egg whites to be beaten well, so add a pinch of salt to help stabilize them. Use an electric mixer to achieve a firm foam that forms peaks.

Then, in another bowl, mix the yolks with the sugar until the mixture becomes light in color and doubles in volume. This process will ensure a fluffy texture for your cake. Add the oil and milk, mixing gently to incorporate all the wet ingredients.

In another container, combine the flour with the baking powder, mixing well to avoid lumps. Gradually add the flour mixture to the yolk mixture, stirring with a spatula to maintain the aeration of the batter. Finally, add the vanilla extract, which will provide a special aroma to the cake.

Fold in the beaten egg whites using a spatula, being careful to mix gently from the bottom up until everything is homogenized. This will ensure a light and airy texture.

Prepare the baking tray by greasing it with margarine and lining it with parchment paper, measuring 24x37 cm. Pour the mixture into the tray, leveling it evenly. Place the cherries on top, distributing them evenly to achieve a delicious taste in every bite.

Place the tray in the preheated oven at a moderate temperature, baking the cake for 30-35 minutes. The cake is ready when it turns golden and passes the toothpick test. After it has cooled, cut the cake into squares and serve it with a smile, enjoying every bite full of flavor and freshness. This recipe will surely become a favorite among your loved ones!
