Simple cherry cake with Marzipan and sprinkles
It is always nice to observe how different families are. What are the habits you have, what values are important to you and what rules you have set. My Feeling is, everywhere and in every family, things are somehow different, and what is for some, of course, is for the other is unthinkable. So it is recipes with the family. The one guard their recipes like state secrets, and they may only be within the family and others are proud of it and carry it to the outside.

The recipe for the cherry cake with Marzipan and sprinkles comes from the shepherd family, the family of my best friend. You can be justifiably proud of it! For me, it is one of the most delicious and easiest cake I have ever met. He served with them throughout the year baked, not only the cherry season and all occasions and brought. Almost every member of the family (well, the female at least 😉 ) knows the recipe by heart and prepare the cake "in my sleep". The Schäfer family has missed your cherry pie, even the family name and he is called lovingly "the shepherd's cherry".
THE BOTTOM IS MADE OF SHORT CRUST DOUGH MADE EASY
The bottom of the cherry cake with Marzipan and sprinkles is a quick-made shortcrust pastry, which is very good with the hands in a cake form application or with the aid of a tablespoon, what is working very well. Short crust, roll out dough is not everybody's affair. It does not matter whether the absolutely happens evenly and accurately, as "the shepherd's cherry" belongs to, according to the Schäfer family, rather rustic cakes-world 😉 .
MARZIPAN HARMONIZES WONDERFULLY WITH THE CHERRY PIE
The icing on the cake, and the sophistication of the cherry cake is the Marzipan mass, which forms a layer between the soil and the cherries. The Sweetness of the marzipan combined with the acidity of the sour cherries is easy to attach only to the pure. It takes fine Marzipan paste (in the baking shelf), and cut in narrow strips. I asked my friend why the Marzipan according to the recipe rolls out, but cut? Whereupon she looked at me with big eyes and said: "Why? It is faster and you have to rinse, no rolling pin and no sub-location“. That sounded logical to me 😉 .
DEPENDING ON THE SEASON – FRESH CHERRIES OR FROM THE GLASS
As already mentioned, You can use the cherry cake with Marzipan and sprinkles throughout the year to bake. If not cherry season, You just pissed off the fallen from the glass. You can buy all year round in the trade, especially the famous variety Schattenmorelle.
If You have but even a large "cherry-source", maybe even your own tree, then You can preserve course of the summer, and the cherries loading. Because I guarantee You: If You tried the cherry cake with Marzipan and sprinkles once, it will give him the whole year and You will say: "cherries in the glass, you can't have enough."
