Chef tips
Do not overmix the batter after adding the egg whites; this keeps the texture fluffier. If the cherries are very tart, add 1 extra teaspoon of honey while sautéing them.
Substitutions
You can substitute the cherries with blueberries or blackberries. Pistachios can be replaced with walnuts or almonds if preferred. For a brighter citrus note, use lime instead of lemon.
