The following pics have much in common, as both the bábovka [granny's cake] and the bublanina [sponge cake] with morello cherries and red currant are made of the same, universal dough, the recipe for which comes from our family's recipe treasury. The dough may be used for a variety of purposes - light and fluffy thanks to the use of beaten egg whites, it may be finished by adding cocoa or cinnamon, it works excellent as a birthday cake finished with a traditional family walnut cream and home-made chocolate, and in summer, it is transformed into a sponge cake through the addition of pretty much any sour fruit, be it cherries, morello cherries, or all kinds of currants, depending on what you run across. The preparation is as simple as it gets, and the use is truly universal.
