This cake is easy to make, perfect with both fresh and frozen cherries, so you can enjoy it at any time of the year. It's a quick and simple dessert, with a fluffy texture and delicious taste, thanks to the combination of tart cherries and citrus flavors. Necessary ingredients: - 1 kg cherries (fresh or frozen) - 6 eggs (at room temperature) - 6 tablespoons of flour - 1 cup of sugar (200 g) - 1 teaspoon of lemon juice - Vanilla and rum essence (to taste) - Grated zest of one orange and one lemon - 6 tablespoons of powdered sugar (for decoration) Step 1: Preparing the cherries If using fresh cherries, wash them well and remove the pits. If you choose frozen cherries, let them thaw at room temperature. Sprinkle the cherries with a cup of sugar and let them sit in the fridge for a few hours to release their syrup. This step will enhance the cake's flavor. Step 2: Preparing the mixture In a large bowl, beat the 6 tablespoons of sugar with the egg yolks, adding the grated orange zest, essences, and lemon zest. Beat until you obtain a creamy and frothy mixture. It is important for the eggs to be at room temperature for better incorporation. Step 3: Beating the egg whites In another bowl, beat the cold egg whites with lemon juice and a pinch of salt until you achieve a firm mixture. This step is essential to give the cake a fluffy texture. Add the beaten egg whites alternately with the flour, mixing with a spatula from the bottom up to avoid losing the air from the egg whites. Step 4: Baking the cake Line a 20x30 cm baking tray with parchment paper. Pour the mixture into the tray and scatter the drained cherries that have been dusted with a little flour so they don't sink to the bottom of the cake. Keep the remaining syrup in the freezer for another use, such as a sauce for ice cream or another cake. Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the cake for about 30-40 minutes, until golden and passing the toothpick test. Step 5: Serving Once the cake has cooled, sprinkle powdered sugar on top and cut into servings. It can be served plain or with a dollop of freshly whipped cream for added flavor. This recipe is versatile, so feel free to try other fruits, such as cherries or peaches, for a new variation. Personal suggestion: Try adding some ground nuts to the mixture for a contrast of textures and an enriched taste. This cherry cake will not only impress with its appearance but will also bring a touch of freshness and joy in every bite. Enjoy it with your loved ones!
