Cherry pie made from bird cherry flour is a charming dessert of Russian cuisine rooted in the traditions of Siberian peoples. Bird cherry, with its subtle almond-nut aroma, gives the pastry a rich flavor and warm earthy tones. This pie resembles chocolate sponge cake but has natural notes of hazelnut and vanilla. Its delicate, slightly moist texture harmonizes with light sour cream frosting, creating a perfect balance of sweetness and freshness. The bird cherry pie is not only a gastronomic delight but also a cultural heritage that connects generations.
