Sunken Cherry Lemon Cake, with dog

I'm participating in the Food52 Baking Project. This month, the featured cookbook is Baking Chez Moi by Dorie Greenspan and my copy still hasn't arrived, so I'm limited to what's available online. Thus far, I've only made the Custardy Apple Squares and they were delicious!

Last month's cookbook was Classic German Baking by Luisa Weiss. I've been a fan of her blog for years, so this is actually what convinced me to join the project. For yesterday's Throw Back Thursday, I made a Sunken Cherry Lemon Cake. It needed more lemon, and I lost track of time and slightly over-baked it. However, the whole excuse for this post is that I took a picture of it, and it came out surprisingly well. Here it is:

Please note the small hopeful dog in the bottom left corner. Sorry about the funky shadows...

The plate is by Calamityware; we have almost a whole set.
