Hi Kris, This gets a bit spooky... Sunday the storks and today the sour cherry cake??? I remembered that you were an excellent cook and just wanted to see what you have been up to in that department. Kaboom!!! You post this image of your sour cherry cake. My Mom waited for me with the same dessert last Sunday. I just uploaded it for comparison:

She sprinkles crushed walnuts on top and dusts it with powdered sugar when serving.
Cheers, Istvan
(((On a private note: I don't know when I get a chance to come back home again, so if you had time, and if you would like to, I would be honored to meet you in person for a cup of coffee. I am staying in Szentes until June 12. Of course, if you are busy etc. I understand so no worries, istvanb@aol.com)))
spooky indeed- haha!
Well, with your mom's experience and love infused cake , there's surely no comparison!
I suspect you'd be packing one for the journey to CA ;)
Now I learned from your mom to sprinkle some walnuts for texture .. thank her, please :)
As for the meeting, I wish to keep this "friendship" strictly on-line if you don't mind :))
