Are you a cherry crumble fan and want to enjoy the dessert outside of the cherry season?
Then bake the cherry cake with cherries from the glass.
Even if cherries are not in season, you don't have to do without delicious cherry cake, because you can use cherries from a glass jar for cakes.
For example, for a Danube wave - with the original recipe, the cherry cake tastes as good as grandma used to make.
If you want a different cake recipe, try the creamy mascarpone cheesecake or a healthy banana cake without sugar, egg and butter.
The sunken apple pie can also be baked quickly and easily with the basic recipe.

The preparation of the cherry out of the glass cake is very simple
Use a sieve to drain the cherries from the jar for the cherry tart with sprinkles.
Heat the butter a little in the microwave so that it becomes liquid and mix it with the flour and sugar.
Use your hands to form the cake crumbles.
For the cake batter, put the butter and sugar in a bowl and mix until fluffy.
Then add the eggs, flour, starch, baking powder, lemon zest, salt and milk and mix until the ingredients are evenly combined.
Place the batter on a parchment-lined baking sheet, press in the drained cherries and top the cherry-in-a-jar cake with the homemade cake sprinkles.
Bake the cake for about half an hour in an oven preheated to 180 degrees Celsius (160 degrees Celsius fan oven).
If you like, you can sprinkle the juicy cherry crumble cake with cherries from the glass with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream.
