10-Minute Prep Cake - Summer Sour Cherry Squares

This is the kind of cake I love making in summer: quick to mix, full of juicy sour cherries, and soft enough to enjoy with coffee, tea, or a scoop of ice cream. These Summer Sour Cherry Squares take about 10 minutes to prepare before going into the oven, making them perfect when you want a homemade cake without spending ages in the kitchen. The sour cherries give the cake a bright, slightly tangy flavour that balances beautifully with the soft, sweet sponge. It’s an easy fruit cake recipe for summer baking, family gatherings, afternoon treats, or using up a jar of sour cherries from the pantry. If you try this sour cherry cake, let me know in the comments how you served it — plain, dusted with icing sugar, or with something creamy on the side.
