Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe cherries for the best flavor. Frozen cherries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
  • If you don't have a cherry pitter, you can use a straw to remove the pits. Simply insert the straw into the cherry and push down until the pit pops out.
  • To make the streusel topping, use cold butter. This will help to create a crumbly texture.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a pastry blender or two forks to cut the butter into the flour.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cake tough.
  • Bake the cherry slice until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  • Let the cherry slice cool completely before cutting it into bars.

Conclusion:

This cherry slice is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The sweet and tart cherries are complemented perfectly by the buttery streusel topping. This recipe is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
