CHERRY CAKE (STRAWBERRY CAKE)


Ingredients:

- 5 eggs with
- 5 tbsp sugar
- some baking powder
- 2 l milk

Cherry cream:

- 1/2-kilo cherries, strawberries or any wild berries
- 20 tbsp sugar
- 2 packets of vanilla pudding powder
- 2 packets of whipped cream powder

Preparation:

Preheat the oven to 150 degrees C.
Beat 5 eggs, first beat egg whites with 5 tablespoons of sugar then add 5 egg yolks. Add 5 tablespoons of flour and a little baking powder. Stir slowly with a wooden spoon to combine the ingredients. Pour the mixture into the baking pan previously greased and floured. Bake in the preheated oven for 15min. or until it becomes light brown. To check if it is baked insert a toothpick into it and if the toothpick comes out dry then the cake is baked.
Soak the cake with 1/2 l of cold sweetened milk. Put aside until it cools down.

Preparation of cherry cream:

Boil 1/2 kilo of cherries or strawberries or any wild berries that you like with 3 cups of water and 20 tablespoons of sugar. Boil it for 10 min. Open 2 packets of vanilla pudding powder and pour their contents into the bowl. Add some water and stir until it becomes creamy. Pour this mixture into the boiling water with cherries and cook for 7 min. or until it thickens. Put it aside to cool down.

When the cream cools down spread it over the baked cake.
Open 2 packets of whipped cream powder and pour the content into the bowl. Add some water (there are instructions on the packet of how much water you should pour). Whip the cream and spread it over the cake. Put it into the fridge for 2 hours and cut it into the squares when you serve the guests.

The cake in the photo is made with strawberries, not cherries, but the original recipe is the one with cherries. When you make the cake with strawberries you should put less sugar, for example instead of 20 tablespoons put 15 tablespoons of sugar because strawberries are sweet while cherries are sour and they need more sugar.
