Ingredients
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease and flour a 9-inch round cake pan.
-
In a food processor, grind the pine nuts until fine. In a bowl, combine the ground pine nuts, all-purpose flour, baking powder, and salt.
-
In a separate bowl, cream the butter and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in the milk and vanilla extract.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan.
-
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
In a saucepan, combine the cherries, water, and sugar. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
-
To serve, slice the cake and top each slice with poached cherries and caramel sauce.
