Servings: persons

1 stick Unsalted Butter
3/4 cups Plus 2 Tablespoons Sugar, Divided Use
2 whole Eggs
2 Tablespoons Heavy Cream
1/2 cups Greek Yogurt
1 cup All-purpose Flour
1/2 teaspoons Salt
1-1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 cup Pitted Black Cherries In Syrup

1 whole Granny Smith Apple
1 Tablespoon Butter (for The Baking Pan)
2 Tablespoons Powdered Sugar

1
Preheat oven to 180 C.

In the bowl of your electric mixer cream the butter and 3/4 cup of sugar. Then stir in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
3
Combine the heavy cream and Greek yogurt in a small bowl then pour it into the butter mixture and mix well.
4
In a separate bowl combine flour, salt and baking powder and slowly add the mixture into the batter mixing well until you get a nice smooth texture. Add about 1 cup of black cherries into the batter. Stir gently.
5
In a separate bowl combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice. Peel, core and slice up the apple very thin, add it into the bowl with the juice mixture and stir to coat the slices in the juice mixture.
6
Heavily butter a baking dish (8 inches)and pour in the batter. Spread it evenly to cover the entire dish. Arrange the apple slices on top of the batter in overlapping rows, pressing slightly into the batter.

Bake at 180 C for about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven, set the dish on a rack and let the cake cool down completely. Sprinkle the surface with powdered sugar and serve.

Tips for the best results

Read through all the steps once before you start and measure out your ingredients first — it makes everything go more smoothly.
Preheat the oven fully and bake on the middle rack for the most even results.
Check for doneness a few minutes early — a toothpick in the center should come out with just a few moist crumbs.
Let it cool before slicing so it sets properly and holds its shape.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge and enjoy within a few days.

Variations & substitutions

Use a neutral oil or a plant-based spread in place of butter for a dairy-free version.
Brown sugar instead of white sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor.
A good 1:1 gluten-free flour blend works well if you need a gluten-free version.
Coconut cream is a reliable plant-based alternative to dairy cream.
