Rouxbe’s Cherry and Wine Cake

I like to be guided by serendipity. My honey told me last Wednesday night, when we met for dinner, that his neighbor had given him a fresh bag of cherries from
her tree, adjacent to his garden. He wasn’t sure what to do with them all. On Thursday I received one of the latest Rouxbe posts in my in-box. Sure enough, there was a recipe for a nice cherry torte. On Saturday, while he was working on a side job, I went to work on this recipe. It turned out to be a perfect grown-up dessert on a hot summer Vancouver night: not too sweet, with a healthy dose of white wine. Served with a bit of ice cream, it was a perfect ending, enjoyed on a cool evening garden patio. I’ll be keeping this recipe close by to try with other fruit this season.

I love everything about cherries, so I had to make the compote and the Cherry & Wine Cake. Both were fabulous! I made two batches of the compote thinking it would last all week….I don’t think so..it’s all gone!!The cake was fast to whip up and very delicious. Bravo Dawn, thanks for the recipes.
