Servings 10

Ingredients
  

  • 250 g self-raising flour 1 2/3 cups
  • 250 g caster sugar 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon
  • 300 g Sour Cream
  • 2 egg yolks
  • finely grated zest of 1 lemon
  • 275 g drained pitted morello cherries (or frozen sour cherries which are even better!)
  • icing sugar sifted, for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 170 C.
  • Grease and line a 28 x 18 cm rectangular baking tin.
  • Put the flour, caster sugar, sour cream, egg yolks and lemon zest in a bowl and mix together with a fork. You can also do this in the food processor.
  • Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin. The mixture is quite thick and hard to spread.
  • Place the cherries over the cake, pushing them in a little.
  • Bake for 35 minutes, or until cooked and golden.
  • Allow the slice to cool in the tin. When cool, cut into squares and dust with the icing sugar.
  • Makes 20–24 pieces
