Recipe
The compote: wash, hull and dry the cherries . Pit them then cut them in half. Put them in a saucepan with the sugar , water and lemon juice . Bring to a boil and simmer for 10 minutes. Let cool.
The cake: Preheat the oven to 180 ° C (thermostat 6). Break the eggs , separating the whites from the yolks. Whisk the yolks with the powdered sugar, until the mixture whitens and becomes foamy. Incorporate the flour and baking powder. Mix.
