I have a cherry tree that makes big sweet cherries. I know you envy me. And I gained weight eating cherries. Didn’t you know? Fruits are fattening. I ate one bowl a day until I finished the tree and gained 2kg. If the damage was done, I also made a cake, to gain another 1kg.
Ingredients
- 200 grams of rice and/or buckwheat flour
- 3 tablespoons of coconut butter or lard
- 5 +2 spoons of sugar
- 4 eggs
- Grated peel from a lemon
- A teaspoon of baking powder
- A spoonful of water
Method of preparation
Melted coconut butter or lard is mixed with 5 spoons of sugar, baking powder, lemon peel, water and egg yolks, and finally the flour is added. Whip the egg whites and incorporate them into the mixture. In the pan (my famous round pan with a diameter of 26 cm), sprinkle 2 spoons of sugar on the baking paper, put the cherries on top, pitted and as thick as possible, and pour the mixture on top. Place the pan in the hot oven, leave it for 20 minutes on high heat, then reduce it by half and leave it for another 25 minutes, until the surface is slightly golden. Remove from the oven and let cool. Now comes the… magical part. Take a plate with a larger diameter than the pan, place it above and turn it over, so that the bottom of the cake becomes the top part. Gently peel off the baking paper and you’re done. The bottom sugar, the actual top surface has caramelized and is slightly crunchy, it’s a treat. The cake can also be made in this way with other fruits: plums, apricots, cherries, pumpkin, raspberries, blueberries, pineapples.
