Sheet Cake with Sour Cherries

Description

This is the recipe of my friend’s grandmother who’s from Germany. I usually use pitted sour cherries in syrup (you can get them at Trader Joe’s® sometimes), but you can also use fresh sweet cherries of course.

Ingredients

• 2 cups confectioners’ sugar
• 1 cup unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 teaspoons vanilla sugar
• 2 teaspoons fresh lemon zest

• 4 eggs
• 3 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• ½ cup milk
