If you love making desserts with canned cherries, then this easy cherry sour cream slice recipe is for you. You’ll only need a handful of ingredients, which most likely are already in your fridge and pantry.
You can whip up this delicious sour cream cherry slice in no time. The tangy sour cream and sweet cherries are definitely a perfect match.
The sour cream gives this cake a light, airy texture, making it quite different from the denser style of cheesecake.

Ingredients
As you can see in the picture, my cherry sour cream slice requires only a few ingredients.
I bet you already have most of them in your pantry and fridge.
You’ll want good-quality butter and, ideally, organic, free-range eggs. I also suggest using full-fat sour cream rather than the light version.
As for the biscuits, I am using digestive biscuits. Just use your favorite brand.
Morello cherries are a great choice. Just make sure to drain them well so they’re as dry as possible; otherwise, the biscuit base could end up soggy.
Adding ground cinnamon to the biscuit base is optional, since I know not everyone likes it.
Lastly, I highly recommend adding lemon zest to the sour cream mixture, as it really enhances the cake’s flavor.
Unfortunately, I didn’t have any at the time of making this delicious cherry sour cream slice.
Extra Tip
Once the cherry sour cream slice is baked, let it cool completely before cutting.
I recommend placing it in the fridge for at least an hour.
