Fruit tart (sour cherries)
Separate the egg whites from the yolks, being careful not to leave any traces of yolk in the whites, as this would prevent the formation of a consistent foam. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with a mixer on high speed until they become a firm and glossy foam. It is important to use a dry and clean bowl, and if you want to ensure that the egg whites whip well, you can add a pinch of salt or a little lemon juice.
In another bowl, mix the yolks with the sugar using a whisk or a mixer on low speed until the mixture becomes creamy and light in color. This step is essential to achieve an airy and fluffy preparation. Once the sugar has completely dissolved, gradually add the milk, mixing constantly to obtain a homogeneous composition. Then, incorporate the flour, sifted beforehand to avoid lumps, continuing to mix carefully.
Once the mixture is well homogenized, it is time to incorporate the egg white foam. This step is essential, as the whipped egg whites bring a light and airy texture to the preparation. Use a silicone spatula to gradually add some of the egg white foam to the yolk mixture, gently folding in an up-and-down motion to avoid losing air from the composition. Continue adding the egg white foam until everything is well combined.
After achieving a uniform composition, you can pour the mixture into a buttered and floured baking tray or one lined with parchment paper. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius and bake the preparation for about 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Once baked, let the cake cool in the pan for a few minutes, then transfer it to a wire rack to cool completely. You can serve it plain or with a fruit sauce, chocolate, or whipped cream, according to your preferences. This simple and delicious recipe will surely bring joy to any occasion!
