πŸ›’ Ingredients

Cake Batter

  • 4 eggs
  • 2 cups granulated sugar (measured using the empty yogurt container)
  • 1 container fruit yogurt (approx. 150g)
  • 1 cup vegetable oil (measured using the empty yogurt container)
  • 3 cups all-purpose flour (measured using the empty yogurt container)
  • 1 packet baking powder (approx. 10-12g)

Topping & Serving

  • to taste pitted sour cherries (well-drained)
  • to taste powdered sugar (for dusting)

πŸ‘¨‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Oven and Pan

⏱️ time: 5 mins mins

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a standard baking pan (approx. 20x30 cm or 9x13 inches) to prevent sticking.

πŸ’‘ Chef's Tip: You can use parchment paper instead of greasing and flouring for an even easier cleanup.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

⏱️ time: 5 mins mins

In a large mixing bowl, combine the eggs, sugar, fruit yogurt, vegetable oil, flour, and baking powder. Whisk or mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform batter.

πŸ’‘ Chef's Tip: This is a traditional Hungarian 'bΓΆgrΓ©s' (cup) recipe. Use the empty yogurt container as your measuring cup for the sugar, oil, and flour to keep things simple and fast!

Step 3: Assemble and Bake

⏱️ time: 30 mins mins

Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan. Scatter the well-drained pitted sour cherries evenly over the top. Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

πŸ’‘ Chef's Tip: To prevent the sour cherries from sinking to the bottom of the cake, toss them in a tablespoon of flour before scattering them over the batter.

Step 4: Dust and Serve

⏱️ time: 5 mins mins

Let the cake cool slightly. Dust the top generously with powdered sugar, slice into squares, and serve.

πŸ’‘ Chef's Tip: This cake is delicious warm, but the flavors settle beautifully once it cools completely.

πŸ“ Author Notes
