I'm allergic to cherries, so I substituted blueberries and it was still delicious.

I had some trouble finding vanilla sugar, but I was able to substitute regular sugar and vanilla extract and it still turned out well.

This cake was a little too sweet for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference.

I'm not usually a fan of cherry desserts, but this cake was surprisingly good. The vanilla sugar really helped to balance out the tartness of the cherries.
