As I said before, cherries are in abundance here and we have a box full waiting to be eaten. And because cherries are so delicate they go bad really quick. Despite the cherry jam I made last time, there are still a lot left. So, I needed to find a way to use them once again.
I Googled "cherry recipes" and searched for a recipe that would tickle my fancy.
I don't like slices that are too dense or too sweet (well may be at times), mostly I like them light so I can have more of them. :)
I searched and searched and I searched. NOTHING!!
So I drove down to the local library and got a couple of baking books and thankfully found something relevant enough to get baking. :)
The original recipe called for berries but cherry went equally well. My Dad could not stop eating!!
Next time I make this slice Ill make double the batch so everyone gets to have them (or I can just store a couple before anyone gets their hands on them).

I have recently been looking at a recipe somewhat like this, but it had raisins in it-which is something I am not a big fan of. This recipe here with the cherries, does look like a much tastier treat. I am saving this recipe-perfect for those days when I want a fruity dessert but do not want pie! Thanks for sharing.
Now this the sort of cake I love with a cup of tea. Great close up shot showing the layers of fruit, trying not to drool here :-)
