For 10 people

45 minutes preparation time (including 25 minutes in the oven)

• 300 g flour
• 200 g sugar (can be reduced by 1/3; the cherries are often sweet enough)
• 5 eggs
• 1 packet baking powder
• 125 ml oil
• 125 ml milk
• approx. 1 kg fresh cherries

Preparation:

Wash and pit the cherries.

Separate the eggs and beat the egg whites until stiff.

Beat the sugar and egg yolks until fluffy, then slowly add the oil and milk while stirring constantly. Mix the flour with the baking powder and stir in well. Fold in the beaten egg whites.

Line a baking tray with baking paper and spread the batter on it. Distribute the cherries on top. Bake at 180°C for approx. 25 minutes.

TIP: Also tastes great with apricots 😉
