This dark cherry and walnut tea bread is more like a cake, just like most banana breads are 🙂
This cakey bread is baked using a specific pan that is called as ozgerinc – which then the translation of the bread itself becomes dios-cseresznyes ozgerinc (dios is walnut while cseresznye is sweet dark cherry).
150 grams cold butter
3 eggs separate the yolk and egg white
1 1/4 tsp pure almond extract
100 grams chopped toasted walnut
200 grams icing sugar
280 grams all purpose flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
450 grams pitted cherries
icing sugar for topping
In a bowl, mix well flour and baking powder, set aside.
Grease and flour your deer spine (ozgerinc) pan. Spread the chopped walnut on the pan.
Cream butter, yolk, icing sugar and almond extract 1/2 hour (yes, it\’s that long); set aside.
Mix egg white until hard foam consistency; then fold slowly into the butter mixture
Heat oven to 350 F
Mix in flour mixture into the batter, stir well. Add in pitted cherries, stir well.
Pour batter into the pan, bake for 45-55 minutes (or until knife inserted in the center comes out clean)
