Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter or non-stick cooking spray.
-
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This can be done using a hand mixer or a stand mixer.
-
Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
-
In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the sour cream, until a smooth batter forms.
-
Spread half of the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish. Top with a layer of cherries.
-
Spread the remaining batter over the cherries, smoothing it out with a spatula.
-
Add another layer of cherries on top of the batter. You can arrange them in a decorative pattern if desired.
-
Bake the cherry cake in the preheated oven for about 45-50 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Allow the cake to cool slightly in the pan before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Once cooled, dust the Placek Z Wiśniami (Cherry Cake) with powdered sugar for a beautiful finishing touch.
