  • Preparation: 20 min
  • Cooking: 35 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (148 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: alcohol, dairy, egg, gluten

Ingredients

  • 25 g Eggs
  • 22 g Sugar
  • 25 g Flour, all-purpose
  • 10 g Butter, melted
  • 12 g Milk, whole
  • 1 g Baking powder
  • 0.3 g Vanilla extract
  • 0.2 g Lemon zest
  • 0.3 g Salt
  • 50 g Cherries, stoned (or other seasonal fruit)
  • 2 g Icing sugar

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180 °C and butter and flour a baking tin, or line it with baking paper. Stone the cherries.
  2. Separate the eggs. Beat the yolks with two thirds of the sugar, the vanilla and the lemon zest for 3-4 minutes until pale and thick, then beat in the melted, cooled butter and the milk.
  3. Mix the flour with the baking powder and fold it into the yolk mixture.
  4. Whisk the egg whites with the salt, adding the rest of the sugar, into stiff, glossy peaks, and fold them gently into the batter.
  5. Spread the batter in the tin about 2 cm deep and scatter the fruit over it. The fruit sinks a little and the batter bubbles up around it as it bakes, which gives the cake its name.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, until golden and a skewer pushed into the middle comes out clean.
  7. Leave to cool in the tin, dust with icing sugar and cut into squares.
