Viennese cherry pie

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make Viennese cherry pie? Prepare your food. Choose natural, high-quality butter, without vegetable fats. Remove it from the refrigerator in advance; it should be soft by the time you start cooking. It is also better to take eggs at room temperature - then the dough will turn out fluffier. Cherries are suitable both fresh and frozen. It is not necessary to defrost it first.

2. STEP 2

   

   Place the soft butter in a bowl and start beating at low mixer speed. Add sugar to the butter in portions, whisking after each addition. You should get a fluffy light mass.

3. STEP 3

   

   While whisking, pour eggs into the butter mixture one at a time. It will be more convenient to do this by breaking them into a separate bowl. Mix the egg well into the total mixture each time. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

4. STEP 4

   

   Sift flour and baking powder into the resulting mass. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the cake will turn out airy and rise well during baking.

5. STEP 5

   

   Using a spatula, stir the dough until smooth.

6. STEP 6

   

   Take a suitable baking dish. The pie according to this recipe turns out to be small; a mold measuring 20*11 cm was enough for me. Grease the mold with a drop of vegetable oil. Pour the dough into it and smooth the top.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place the cherries on top, pressing them into the dough. The more berries you fit, the juicier the pie will be.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the pie dish in the oven, preheated to 180°C. Bake until lightly browned on top, about 30 minutes. Then remove the pan from the oven without turning off the heat. Sprinkle the cake with flaked almonds.

9. STEP 9

   

   Return the pie to the oven. Bake it until done, another 10-15 minutes. Check readiness with a wooden skewer - it should come out dry from the center. Cool the baked pie completely and remove from the pan.

10. STEP 10

    

    Serve it to the table, sprinkled with powdered sugar. Bon appetit!

I love cherry pies. I recently made a cherry pie in a slow cooker, but I wanted to try something else, and I found this recipe on my favorite website. In terms of ingredients, it is almost the same, but it also contains almonds and is baked in the oven. I love nuts in baked goods, but I didn’t have almonds, so I added walnuts, and also reduced the number of eggs to 2 and sugar to 100 grams, because... I don’t like the taste of eggs and sugary pies, but that’s my preference. The result was complete delight: pleasant cherry sourness, nuts and crispy crust, just super! It turns out that with the same composition of products, adding nuts and changing the baking method gave such a colossal result. This is the only way I’ll bake cherry pie from now on. Thank you very much for the recipe!

Oh! The result was a delicious and tender Viennese cherry pie for fans of cherries and almonds like me. It turned out very tender, juicy, soft, with an amazing aroma, pleasant crunching on the teeth with almond petals, with a sweet and sour taste. And yes, this recipe for this pie is from Austrian cuisine, and Austria has always been famous for its exquisite pastries. I served this pie with whipped cream. And I ended up with a little less flour than the author, but that’s normal, everyone’s flour is different. Thank you!
