Chocolate-Crumbles-Cherry-Pie (or "I´m Celebrating Being A Vegetarian!")

---

This is my second day as a recurring vegetarian. I have already been a vegetarian from age 9 to 21, but then somehow I messed up with my nutrition (bad idea!), got serious anemia (bad idea too!) and started eating meat again. So for more than 5 years I have been sort of deaf to what my soul already knew:  

I can´t eat animals.

I just can´t. There was never really a time when I ate lots of meat. In fact through most of my relationships I had to fight for eating vegetarian meals. At least with the men. But somehow I have gotten caught up in that pattern of ignoring that I am eating an animal. *runs away and hides* So anyway, I couldn´t be happier than I am right now. This feels so right. Like I aligned myself with my higher self a bit more. (Oh boy, here comes the crazy talk. But you know what I mean.)

Being this happy and grateful calls for a celebration, right? This is why I made myself the most rewarding cake my brain could come up with at that point:
A Chocolate-Crumbles-Cherry-Pie!

What you´ll need:

• 350 grams of butter
• 100 grams of dark chocolate
• 400 grams of flour
• salt
• 350 grams of sugar
• bourbon vanilla
• 1,25 kg of cherries
• 4 eggs (medium size)
• 125 grams of starch
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder

Melt 100 grams of butter slowly.

For the crumbles mix 200 grams of flour, a pinch of salt, 100 grams of sugar and a pinch of bourbon vanilla. Add the butter and the dark chocolate and blend everything together. Then keep everything cold for about 30 minutes.

Mix 250 grams of butter, 250 grams of sugar, a pinch of bourbon vanilla and salt.

Take 200 grams of flour, add the starch and the baking powder.

Mix both the sugar-egg-butter part and the flour-starch-baking powder part together. Grease a baking pan and preheat the oven to 175°. Fill the dough into the baking pan, add a layer of cherries (carfully press them into the dough) and finally add another layer of your crumbles. And into the oven it goes! It should be ready after 35 to 40 minutes.

Let it cool down inside of the pan, then cut it into pieces and enjoy!

A fine little song to play while you make the cake. I hope you enjoy your life right now at this very moment. Let me send you a hug. Mwah!


Love to you!
