Honey Cake with Cherries
Description
Baking is simple and quick to prepare. There are many recipes for making the honey cake loved by so many. The difference may not be very significant, but the flavor takes on completely new nuances. I suggest one version of honey cake with cherries, especially since it can be made at any time of year. Both fresh and frozen cherries will work. And here there is room for homemakers’ imagination: the soaking cream can be made to your taste. Mine is a classic cream: custard. This delicate and delicious honey cake with cherries, simple to prepare, can become every family member’s favorite dessert from the very first try. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
