Chery Pecan Snack Cake

Serves: 4-6

Happy Monday! I hope you had a great weekend! Mine ended up being pretty darn fabulous if I do say so myself! Friday, at the very last minute, I decided that it had been far too long since my last massage, so I booked an 80 minute deep tissue massage! Pure heaven!! Saturday I saw The Great Gatsby and I loved it! Sunday, was cold and rainy, which normally would make me lazy and tired, but instead it ‘forced’ me into the kitchen for 5+ hours of baking!! It was awesome! I have some delicious recipes coming!! I had all I could do to not eat it all before I photographed it for you! ? But, until those recipes arrive, I will let you enjoy this one!! :)

I will admit that I was slightly concerned when I first cut into this because it seemed crumbly, BUT once I took a bite it was pure heaven! It was so soft and just slightly dense like one of the breakfast cakes I used to eat at a local bakery on cape cod! The cherries gave it the perfect sweetness and the cinnamon on the top just finishes it all off! It was absolutely delicious alongside my tea!! I topped mine with some vanilla greek yogurt!

P.S – – you know it was a dark, cloudy day when I was taking these pictures since they are A) horrible and B) there are only 3 in the post! haha I think it may be time for me to venture into making a photography box! ?
