Pueblo Garzon and a cherrie cake.




One day, doing nothing in our vacances  we decided to visit a small village called Pueblo Garzón . It was time that we had wanted to visit . Meanwhile I asked myself what so interesting to have a small village in the middle of nowhere?


Has installed families who open businesses as Esteban and Carolinaowners  of D Cepa restaurant  who feel their restaurant in Pueblo Garzon is back to its origins and a long-term project Yet still divide his life between Palma de Mallorca and Garzon and plan to move in Uruguay  because when they are not, they miss.




It is also an area of cultivation of olive trees and olive oil processing.















Restaurante D Cepa




Truly a place that inspires tranquility and good moments and was looking and remembering these beautiful images that came the idea of making a cake with fresh cherries, which can be done with any kind of cherries,  even maraschino , so remember to drain the liquor. I hope you enjoy the pictures Garzon's pictures and this delicious cake that remind ours grandmothers

I love Cherrie Cake and will definitely use your recipe. But what I really love is the documentary photography that you have provided along with this post. Tells a beautiful story! Well done.

This reminds me of an Italian almond cake, but instead uses peanuts. With snow on the ground it will be some time before we have cherries but maraschino cherries will do for now.

I tried making this but I put a little twist to it by adding pistachios and it was such a delicious dessert!

I treated my wife on a vacation last year in the spirit of celebrating our first year as husband and wife. I also gave her a slice of her favorite cake with a personalized greeting card.

That cake looks very delicious! I think I can eat a lot of that and store the uneaten ones in an industrial refrigerator.
