Step by Step guide

Step 1

Place 1 cup of ground cherry flour in a bowl. Bring 1 cup of milk to a boil and pour it over the cherry flour. Cover the bowl with a lid and wrap it in a towel. Let it sit for about 2 hours.

Step 2

When the mixture cools, add three eggs, 1 cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1 cup of sugar to the cherry mixture. Mix everything thoroughly.

Step 3

Bake several thin layers separately — 3-4, depending on the diameter of your pan.

Step 4

Prepare the sour cream frosting — mix 700 grams of sour cream with 2/3 cup of sugar, refrigerate until the sugar dissolves, then stir without whipping.

Step 5

You can also soak the cake with syrup. Boil 60 grams of sugar with 60 ml of water and let it simmer for about five minutes. Cool and add 6 ml of cognac (more can be added if desired).
