Dark Cherry Cake: Easy, simply and delicious!

We all need something easy to bake, when we need a break from all the work sometimes just make something quick and easy is the best.

This cake can be the answer, from the fact that that base is a soft biscuit and the filling is a can of cherry in heavy syrup (it's time saving too, just open the can, that's all ^ ^). Top the cake with the crumb and put it in the oven, then after 30 minutes you get the delicious cake, How easy!
Actually, I have to confess, I bought this can of cherry for making the black forest cake, but I felt very lazy so I try to find other recipe, -*-.
