With this recipe you bake the classic.
There are cake recipes that you simply associate with the past: visits to grandma and coffee with the family.

For example, a delicious
cherry cake
that doesn't need a lot of ingredients - especially not unusual ones that you first have to go to three different supermarkets for.
No, with this recipe you can get by with the standard assortment for hobby bakers: butter, sugar, eggs, flour and of course cherries.
You can pick
fresh cherries
from the garden when they are in season (June to August).
Or very cleverly, as described in the recipe below,
cherries from a jar
