Instructions
 

The Base

  • First off, crush the biscuits either using a NutriBullet (or something similar) or a rolling pin.
    Mix the crushed biscuits with the cinnamon and the melted butter.
    Note: If you don't like cinnamon, you can leave it out.

  • Line a lightly greased baking tin with parchment paper. Make sure the opposite sides are overhanging.
  • Press the biscuit mixture evenly into the tin.
    Note: You can use either your hand, a large spoon, or the back of a cup to do it.
  • Put the tin in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

The Filling

  • Thoroughly drain the cherries using a fine sieve. Use a spoon to press out any excess liquid.
    1 jar (700ml/25 oz) pitted cherries
  • Scatter the cherries on top of the biscuit base.
  • Now it is time to mix the sour cream, castor sugar, and lightly beaten eggs.
    I prefer to use an electric mixer to make sure that the sugar dissolves.
    Note: At this stage, you can add some lemon zest (optional).
    2x 250 grams (9 oz) sour cream, 1/3 cup (3oz) caster sugar, zest of 1/2 lemon (optional), 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Pour the mixture over the cherries.
  • Bake in a preheated oven @ 160℃/315℉ for about 30 minutes.
  • Let it cool down. You can also put it into the fridge and leave it until the cake is firm.
  • Before serving, dust the cherry sour cream slice with powdered sugar.
    Serve on its own or with some ice cream and whipped cream.
    Enjoy!
