This recipe comes from my mother. She would call me on the phone while in the subway and just say: "Take a pen and write this down, it's a delicious recipe I just saw on TV, I'm certain the kids will love it". "But mom, I'm in the subway now, underground you know, how can I write it down?!" - I would say.
It was a regular occurrence. When the children were younger, I spent a lot of time in the car, just driving them around, from school to English lessons, to German lessons, to and from sports activities. Sometimes we would be in such a hurry that they wouldn't have time to eat dinner at home, so I turned the car into a kitchen. I was convinced that if they failed to receive proper and healthy nutrition, they would not have been able to bear the extracurricular activities' burden.
This cake is now one of our favourite ones. It can be quickly prepared and is best when left overnight to chill out, to then be easily cut into cubes. The original recipe is with prunes, and I have made them according to the original recipe on multiple occasions, but sour cherries is my absolute favourite. I love cherry desserts. They are not too sweet and the sour taste flavour is just the twist needed ...
