Sour Cherry Yogurt Cake – VIDEO RECIPE

how to cook Sour Cherry Yogurt Cake?

STEP 1

To make this delicious yogurt cake with cherries, start by gathering your ingredients and by preheating your oven to 180°C (350⁰F). In a medium bowl, combine flour, ground nuts, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Give it a good stir to mix everything together.

TIPS: Feel free to choose your favorite nuts or peanuts, ensuring they are finely chopped. You can grind the nuts in a coffee grinder or kitchen chopper. Alternatively, nut flour like almond flour can be used as a substitute for ground nuts.

STEP 2

Next, grab a large bowl and place your softened butter in it. Add sugar and beat with a mixer on medium speed until it becomes nice and creamy.

TIPS: If your butter is too hard, a few seconds in the microwave can soften it up and make it easier to whip.

TIPS: Instead of using butter, you can opt for good quality margarine. It works just as well! But keep in mind that margarine contains salt. So, you might want to reduce the amount of salt in the recipe. Just a little heads up!

STEP 3

Now it’s time to add the eggs, one at a time, to the sugar-butter mixture. Make sure to mix thoroughly after each addition.

STEP 4

Once the eggs are well incorporated, gradually add half of the flour mixture to the egg-butter mixture. Pour in the yogurt and then add the remaining half of the flour mixture. Mix everything together on low speed until you have a smooth dough.

STEP 5

Now, let’s prepare the baking tin. Grease a 20cm round baking tin with butter and sprinkle it with flour. Pour the dough into the prepared tin and use a spatula to smooth the top.

STEP 6

To add a burst of flavor, place slightly thawed cherries on top of the dough. They will give your cake a delightful touch.

TIPS: If you don’t have frozen cherries, fresh ones can be a fantastic alternative. They’ll add a burst of flavor to your recipe and give it a delightful twist.

STEP 7

Then place the tin with the dough into your already preheated to 180°C (350⁰F) oven. Let it bake for 35-40 minutes until it turns a beautiful golden brown.

STEP 8

Once it’s done, leave the cake in the tin for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

TIPS: Wondering if your cake is ready? Stick a wooden stick or toothpick into the center – if it comes out clean, your cake is done.

STEP 9

After that, carefully remove the cake from the tin and let it cool completely on a wire rack.

STEP 10

While it’s cooling, brush the edges and sides of the cake with apricot jam. Gently press almond flakes onto the edges and sides. This will give your cake a lovely finishing touch.

TIPS: For a more even spread of jam, try warming it slightly over a pan of simmering water or in the microwave. This will make it easier to work with and ensure a consistent distribution.

TIPS: To make spreading jam over the cake a breeze, use a silicone pastry brush. It’s the perfect tool for the job and will give you a smooth and even application.

STEP 11

To make it even more appealing, sprinkle the top of the cake with powdered sugar. It adds a touch of sweetness and makes it look even more tempting.

STEP 12

When you’re ready to serve, cut Sour Cherry Yogurt Cake into equal pieces and enjoy it with a nice cup of tea. Bon appetit!
