Instructions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). While the oven is heating, take a 22 cm (8.5 inches) round baking pan (or a 24 cm (9.5 inches) pan for a slightly lower cake) and grease it with butter to ensure your cake doesn’t stick.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and vanillin. Whisk them together to ensure an even distribution.
Step 3
In another bowl, use a hand mixer to cream together the soft butter and sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the bowl to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
Step 4
Next, add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Incorporate the curd cheese into the mixture, blending until smooth and well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, mixing gently to avoid overmixing. The batter should be thick but pourable. If desired, fold in your choice of fresh cherries or other fruits at this stage.
Step 6
Pour the batter into the prepared baking pan and smooth the top with a spatula. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Step 7
Once baked, remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with optional almond flakes sprinkled on top for added texture and flavor.
Servings
For brunches or gatherings, slice the pie into wedges and serve it alongside fresh fruit and whipped cream. Your friends and family will swoon at this beautiful spread! 🍒
Don't forget, a sprinkle of almond flakes on top of the pie not only adds a lovely crunch but also elevates the flavor profile. Each bite will be bursting with a delightful mix of textures that you and your guests will adore!
Enjoy every slice!
Equipment
A deep pie dish is ideal for capturing all the delicious goodness of your filling. If you prefer a slightly flatter pie, a 24 cm (9.5 in) dish will work just fine.
You'll need a couple of bowls to mix the filling and combine the dry ingredients. Make sure they're large enough to allow easy stirring!
Accurate measurements are key to a perfect pie. Invest in a good set for the best results.

Faq
- What type of cherries should I use for the pie?
Fresh cherries are ideal, but you can also use frozen ones if fresh aren't available. Just make sure to drain any excess liquid.
- How can I tell when the pie is done baking?
The crust should be golden brown, and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean. If the top is browning too quickly, cover it with foil.
- Can I make this pie ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare and bake the pie ahead of time and store it in the fridge. Just warm it before serving for the best taste.
- How do I store leftover pie?
Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can also be frozen for longer storage!
- Can I substitute cottage cheese?
Yes, you can use ricotta cheese or cream cheese as a substitute, but make sure to adjust the sweetness accordingly!
- How can I enhance the flavor of the pie filling?
Adding a splash of vanilla extract or almond extract to the filling can give it a fantastic flavor boost!
