It's easier to take frozen, it has already been cleaned. Place the berries on top of the dough. Don't push them in, they will drown on their own. Pre-roll them in flour will keep them juicy. Decorate the cake with almond petals and place in an oven preheated to 180-200 ° C.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or more. It all depends on your oven. Check the baked goods for doneness with a match. Poke it into the center of the cake, the tip should remain dry. Remove pie from oven and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Let it cool and remove from the mold.

If you wish, you can replace cherries with apples, which are more relevant in the fall. It will turn out very tasty too.
