Hungarian Sour Cherry Cake 🇭🇺

🥄 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven:
    • 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a 9×13 inch pan.
  2. Prepare the batter:
    • Beat sugar and eggs until light and fluffy.
    • Add oil, milk, and vanilla; mix well.
    • In a separate bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, and salt.
    • Gradually fold dry ingredients into wet mixture until smooth.
  3. Assemble the cake:
    • Pour batter into prepared pan.
    • Evenly spread sour cherries over the top. Sprinkle with sugar if desired.
  4. Bake:
    • 35–40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  5. Cool & serve:
    • Let the cake cool completely. Dust with powdered sugar before slicing.

🍴 Tips:

  • If using frozen cherries, make sure they’re well-drained to avoid a soggy cake.
  • For extra flavor, brush the top with a little cherry syrup before baking.
  • This cake pairs beautifully with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

If you like, I can also give you a super moist, sour cherry cake with a hint of almond that makes it extra Hungarian-style decadent.

Do you want me to do that?
