Easy Fluffy Traditional Romanian Cherry Tea Cake - Romanian Delights recipe
Ingredients
Ingredients:
- 200 g fresh cherries pitted
- 4 large eggs
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 100 ml sunflower oil
- 200 g plain flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- Icing sugar for dusting, optional
Instructions
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 20x30cm baking tray with baking paper.
Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the vanilla extract and sunflower oil, mixing gently to combine.
Add Dry Ingredients:
- Sift in the flour, baking powder, and salt. Gently fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the cake light and airy.
Add the Cherries:
- Pour the batter into the prepared baking tray and evenly distribute the fresh cherries over the top. They will naturally sink a little during baking.
Bake:
- Place in the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
Cool and Serve:
- Allow the cake to cool slightly before dusting with icing sugar, if desired. Slice into squares or rectangles and serve.
