Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 10 minutes

Sunken Cherries

Cream the sugar, butter (or margarine), vanilla sugar, and eggs until fluffy. Add the flour, half the baking powder, and cornstarch; mix until smooth, and add a squeeze of lemon juice. (I recently stirred some dark chocolate shavings into the batter; it tasted absolutely delicious, especially with the sour cherries.) Pour the batter into a greased round baking pan. Finally, add the cherries to the batter and spread them out evenly. Bake at about 160 degrees Celsius (depending on your oven) for 40-50 minutes. I always do the toothpick test. Let the cake cool and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Another little tip: Try making the cake with peaches (I use canned pie peaches, which are nicely sliced) instead of cherries.
