Equipment

  • 9x13 size pan

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla sugar
  • ¾ cup plain yogurt or vanilla
  • ½ cup vegetable oil
  • 2 cups flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1.5 cup sour cherries halves and pitted
  • cup blended oats for coating the cherries
  • pinch of salt

Instructions

  • In a separate bowl, combine baking powder with flour.
  • Combine sour cherries with blended oats. This will help prevent the cherries from sinking to the bottom as it bakes. Keep aside.
  • Beat eggs with sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt.
  • Blend well for 3-4 minutes on medium speed.
  • Add yogurt slowly and continue mixing.
  • Add oil slowly and continue mixing.
  • After about 10 minutes in total, add the dry ingredients. Slowly sift in the dry ingredients with the liquid ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon. Blend well.
  • Add half of the cherries into the bowl and fold in 2-3 times.
  • Pour batter into a greased pan.
  • By hand, place the remaining cherries on top. The cherries will be absorbed into the batter as it rises and bakes.
  • Bake 370F for 30-35 minutes. Check with a toothpick, if it comes out clean, then ready.
