"Monastery Hut" Dessert

There are a huge number of variations of this recipe. The cake turns out incredibly delicious: a combination of airy cream, tender dough and the tartness of cherries. I recommend trying it! In this version, thawed cherries (pitted) were used, from which all liquid was removed. The finished dessert is designed for 6-8 servings.
