Hungarian Sour Cherry Cake

TGIF Yay!

This weekend I will be attending award ceremonial at a block party in town. Last year, one of the organizations that I volunteer at, I nominated them. They didn't win, but was mentioned by the city and the news. This year, I nominated another organization that I also volunteer at, and they didn't win as well, darn it, however, they will be awarded as a nominee. I didn't know that when we nominate and the nominee don't win, they would still be awarded. That's nice. I'm glad both of organizations got some kind of recognizition. Hopefully someday more people would vote for them and they would win, so more people would know and support their values and hardwork 🤩

For today's recipe, it's a nice one, from Hungary. Some would refer it as a cake, some others as a pastry, while my husband would say it's like a pie but also not a pie 🤣
