We start this delicious recipe with an essential step: preparing the egg yolks. Place the egg yolks in a large bowl and whisk them well with 100 g of sugar and a packet of vanilla sugar. Use a spatula or a mixer on low speed to achieve a creamy and homogeneous mixture. It is important that the sugar dissolves completely, so that you do not feel any granules in the final product.
Once the egg yolks have reached a fluffy consistency, start gradually adding the oil, just like when making mayonnaise. It is essential to add the oil in a thin stream while constantly mixing to allow emulsification. The oil will give the cake a soft and moist texture. Once you have incorporated the oil, add the yogurt and lemon essence, mixing gently to achieve a uniform composition.
In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt, gradually adding the remaining sugar and the other packet of vanilla sugar. Use an electric mixer on high speed until the egg whites become a stiff and glossy foam, forming firm peaks. This step is crucial for giving the cake an airy and fluffy structure.
When the egg whites are ready, pour them over the egg yolk mixture, gently folding with a spatula from the bottom up to avoid losing air in the mixture. Then, gradually incorporate the flour, which has been previously mixed with the baking powder. It is important to mix carefully to obtain a homogeneous mixture without lumps.
Once the mixture is well combined, prepare two loaf pans, which you can line with parchment paper or grease with butter and sprinkle with flour. Divide the mixture between the two pans, filling them halfway.
Now, it's time to add the sour cherries. If you are using canned sour cherries, make sure to let them drain to remove excess liquid. Place the cherries evenly in the mixture in the pans to ensure that each slice of cake will have a delicious fruity flavor.
Place the pans in the preheated oven at a medium temperature and let them bake for about 40 minutes. You can check if the cakes are done by inserting a toothpick in the center; if it comes out clean, the cakes are perfectly baked. Let them cool slightly before removing them from the pans and enjoy this delicacy with your loved ones!
