Cherry Cake

Cherry cake was traditionaly made in countries of former Yugoslavia. For me this is one of those that makes your day and elicit a smile to your face. When I was a little girl my mom made it almost every week and I still enjoy it like first time. It seems ordinarily but simplicity is what makes this cake so stunning. Eggs, flour, sugar and cherries are almost all you need for the perfect bite of this traditional everyday dessert. Cherry cake is very simple to make, you just need to mix the ingredients and bake it. Don’t even have to cool it – serve directly from the oven.

  1. When I bought it, it wasn’t what I expected you know. I wanted something soft and gentle in but instead it rubbed me in the wrong way if you know what I mean
