with cherries and currants

Description

The baking is simple and quick. This recipe requires pitted cherries, but any currants will work—both black and red. If you have other berries on hand, feel free to add them—they'll make it even better. In my opinion, this "Manник" cake is a perfect, easy, and inexpensive treat to serve with tea. The baking is done. Serve at the table.
