Cherry Swirl Cake (“Snail” style pastry)
Ingredients
450 g flour (e.g. Zernovyta brand)
250 ml yogurt
200 g butter
50 g sugar
1 tsp baking powder
Vanilla to taste
Filling:
400 g cherries (fresh or pitted)
Sugar to taste
Cooking:
In a large bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking powder, and vanilla. Mix well.
Add softened butter (cut into pieces) and yogurt. Knead until you get a smooth dough.
Cover the dough with a kitchen towel and let it rest for 15 minutes.
Roll out the dough into a rectangle and cut it into 4 strips.
Place cherries along each strip and sprinkle lightly with sugar.
Seal each strip to form tubes. Arrange them in a greased baking dish in a spiral shape, forming a "snail".
Bake at 180°C (350°F) for about 35 minutes.
Once cooled, sprinkle the top with powdered sugar.
Enjoy!
