Ingredients:
- 5 Eggs
- 1.5 cups Sugar
- 1 cup Yogurt
- 1 cup Oil
- 2 cups Flour
- 1/2 packet Baking Powder
- 400-500g Cherries
- Powdered Sugar for dusting
- Note: 1 cup = 200ml
Instructions:
- Prepare the Batter:
- Separate egg whites and yolks. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, gradually adding sugar. Gently fold in the yolks using a spatula.
- Gradually mix in yogurt, oil, flour, and baking powder to the egg mixture, ensuring it remains light and fluffy.
- Assemble the Cake:
- Pour the batter into a greased and floured baking tray (35 x 20 cm).
- Evenly distribute the cherries (fresh, frozen, or canned) on top of the batter. Slightly press the cherries into the batter with a knife tip so they sink in a little but don’t fall to the bottom.
- Bake:
- Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C. Once the cake starts baking, reduce the temperature to 180°C. The cake is done when the edges start pulling away from the sides of the pan.
- Serve:
- Let the cake cool, then dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy this delightful Traditional Cherry Yellow Cake, a sweet reminder of the past with every delicious bite! 🍒🎂👵
