🍒 Fluffy Cherry Sponge Cake
A light and airy dessert, perfect for cherry season! As simple as it is delicious — this traditional sponge cake with sour cherries is a summer favorite in many homes.

🛒 Ingredients:

5 eggs

5 tablespoons flour

5 tablespoons sugar

200–300 g pitted sour cherries (fresh or frozen)

A pinch of salt

2 tablespoons oil

1 teaspoon baking powder

👩‍🍳 How to Make Cherry Sponge Cake:

Separate the eggs — whites in one bowl, yolks in another.

Beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt. Gradually add the sugar and continue mixing until you get a dense, glossy foam.

In the separate bowl, whisk the yolks with the oil until smooth.

Gently fold the yolks into the whipped egg whites using a spatula.

Sift in the flour and baking powder, then fold the mixture gently from bottom to top, keeping the batter airy and fluffy.

Line a loaf or cake pan with baking paper (or grease and line with regular paper if needed).

Pour the batter into the pan, then arrange the pitted sour cherries evenly on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at medium heat (about 170°C/340°F) until the top is lightly golden and a toothpick comes out clean (approx. 30–35 minutes, depending on your oven).

🍽️ Serving Suggestion:

Let it cool, slice, and dust with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

Enjoy! It’s as fluffy as it is delicious! 😍
