I made the recipe, and oh. my. God. :) They weren’t sour cherries, but they were the sweetest, most awesome cherries I ever tasted, and so I can’t wait to dig in to the cake!

I love your website. After reading this post, I am now bound and determined to find sour cherries (or some other fruit) at the farmers’ market tomorrow morning and bake my fool heart out! :)

YUM! I have a big bag of sour cherries in my fridge, I picked them from my neighbor’s tree last week. There are still more there, but I need to get over there and get them before they go to waste! I made a Sour Cherry Almond Cake that was incredible.

Oh and howdy neighbor, I’m in Twin Lakes, WI :)

I just received sour cherries from our CSA and had a class breakfast yesterday to prepare something for. This recipe was fantastic. I was surprised how easy it was to pit the cherries by hand. I was also worried that all that liquid from the cherries would be a problem, but the recipe handled that beautifully.
The only bad side was the rest of the parents ate the rest – no left-overs for my family!

Kaitlyn: Check out the Cherry Pie recipe I posted, it remains the best cherry pie I have ever eaten. Brilliant recipe: http://www.lottieanddoof.com/2008/09/cherry-pie/
I love my cherry pitter, also works well on olives. Enjoy!

I just bought a cherry pitter so that I can fully enjoy sour cherries! Tomorrow I think I’ll bake a pie, but maybe this weekend I’ll make this coffee cake!

Hey Tim! Unfortunately, I think my Chicago trip won’t be happening for some time. It’s on my very long list of places to visit — anew or again. But I like to file away little tasty tidbits so I’m ready when the day comes. ;) We ARE heading down Mexico way in a few weeks… which I guess really has nothing to do with Chicago. It will involve lots of good food though, so that’s how I’m going to justify the segue… ¡Disfrute la vida!

I panic, too, when I don’t think I can get enough of what I’m dying for…and that goes for many things!

I love the cake to crumb topping ratio. Now I’m hungry!

Hey Dawn! I am working on a Chicago guide- unfortunately life keeps getting in the way. I hope to have something up by the end of the summer. If you need recommendations sooner, you can certainly shoot me an email and I’d be happy to help.
And thanks, as always, for being such a loyal and supportive reader!

It’s like a cake and a cobbler all rolled into one. I can almost taste it from the photos… which are beautiful, as always.

I would love to see some reviews of your favorite restaurants. One of these days I hope to visit Chicago (after a single business trip there, my husband opined that it was one of his favorite cities). It would be great to have a list of yummy places to try.

You’ve just motivated me to buy my first pint of sour cherries.
