Ingredients:
For the Crumble:
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon cold butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
For the Cake:
- 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons room temperature butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 room temperature eggs
- 5 tablespoons creamy yogurt
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 2/3 cup cornstarch
- 1/3 cup lukewarm milk
- 1 1/2 to 2 cups pitted cherries
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 37cm x 25cm (approx. 15"x10") baking tray.
- Start with the crumble: Mix the specified amounts of butter, sugar, and flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- For the cake: Cream together the butter, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy.
- Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring each is well incorporated before adding the next. Stir in the yogurt.
- Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and cornstarch in a separate bowl. Gradually mix these dry ingredients into the wet mix, alternating with the milk. Start and finish with the dry ingredients to make a smooth batter.
- Spread the batter into the prepared baking tray. Press the cherries evenly into the batter, covering the surface.
- Generously sprinkle the crumble mixture over the cherries.
- Bake for about 35 minutes, until the top is golden and a toothpick inserted into the cake comes out clean.
- Let the cake cool in the tray, then dust with powdered sugar to add a touch of sweetness and a lovely visual effect.
