Cherry Pie
Description
Perfect for serving with tea and coffee. This cake is also known as "the housewife's cake" in France, as it's believed that all the ingredients should always be available in every housewife's kitchen! This is a traditional French cake with a very tender and light batter, as well as a delightful aroma of sweet-and-tart cherries. Instead of cherries, you can use cranberries or other berries. Don't be alarmed that the cake doesn't rise much—it's supposed to be that way according to the recipe, resulting in a moist and slightly dense texture. The baked cake is ready. Serve it at the table.
