After blueberries, I also found the last package of frozen cherries in our freezer. Last summer we had quite a great crop and we ate them for some weeks. Because cherries can’t be kept fresh for long time, I almost filled our whole freezer with packages of this delicious fruit. It was a great idea, because when the cold days hit we enjoy putting them heated into our breakfast oatmeal.
In summer I baked this simple cake for several picnics with our friends in beautiful Prague parks. It is easy to carry around, so it is an ideal outdoor cake. The smell of the cake reminds me of summer in this nice city and its gardens. What do cherries remind you of?
