Directions:
Prepare the Cake Base:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a bowl, mix the butter, sugar, and vanilla sugar until smooth.
Add the eggs and continue mixing.
Sift the flour and baking powder into the mixture, then stir until combined.
Pour the batter into a greased 24 cm baking tin.
Bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Allow to cool.
Prepare the Cream:
In a saucepan, heat the milk.
Add the pudding powder and sugar, stirring constantly until thickened.
Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Once cooled, fold in the sour cream and mix until smooth.
Assemble the Cake:
Place the cooled cake base on a serving plate.
Spread the prepared cream over the cake, smoothing it into an even layer.
Prepare the Cherry Topping:
Drain the canned cherries and place them over the cream layer.
If desired, heat a small amount of juice from the cherries and mix with a packet of pudding powder to thicken, then drizzle over the cherries for extra shine.
Chill the Cake:
Place the assembled cake in the refrigerator for several hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the cake to set.
Serve:
Once chilled, slice and serve as a refreshing dessert.
Serving Suggestions:
Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for extra indulgence.
Serve with whipped cream or a dollop of Greek yogurt for added richness.

Top with fresh fruit or nuts for a crunchy contrast.

Cooking Tips:
Ensure the cake layer is fully cooled before adding the cream to prevent it from melting.
You can use fresh cherries instead of canned for a fresher taste.
If you prefer a firmer cream, use more pudding powder.
