michiana cherry cake
(3 ratings)
This is a favorite local recipe made when the tart cherries are ripe in early summer. Everyone seems to love it. I remember this recipe from as far back as the 1970's. The cake is easy to make. Also, its really different than anything else in my recipe collection and I hope you like it, too. I hope to get enough cherries to make this Saturday and post a picture of it. Michiana is short for Michigan-Indiana and refers to the Southern Michigan- Northern Indiana area.
