Hello friends. Are you ready for a great and easy cake recipe? A delicious cherry cake recipe with vanilla and ground almonds. The ideal summer cake for guests, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or for a picnic. The cherries can also be replaced with berries, for example raspberries or blackberries.
Sponge cake
Sponge cakes are actually pretty easy and quick to make. You need: flour, butter, spices and baking powder. Ideally all ingredients should be at room temperature. If no eggs are used, I always add some apple cider vinegar to the batter. The combination of baking powder / baking soda and vinegar works wonders, namely many bubbles! This will make the cake super light and airy later. Therefore, after adding the vinegar, you should not stir the dough for too long.

Mix the flour, baking powder and almonds. Mix the flour mixture into the butter mixture.
Finally, fold the cherries evenly under the dough.
Pour the dough into the cake tin and bake for 40 minutes. If the cake gets too dark, cover it with baking paper.
