Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Line the base and sides of a 20cm deep cake tin. Beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, then beat in the eggs, one by one. Fold in the almond extract, flour, ground almonds and baking powder, followed by the cherries and milk.

  • step 2

    Scrape into the prepared tin, scatter over the flaked almonds, then bake for 1 hr-1 hr 15 mins. Cool the cake in its tin before serving.

RECIPE TIPS
SETTING UP A CAKE STALL

Carry large cakes in cake tins. Put the cake on the lid and cover with the rest of the tin, rather than the usual way round - this will make it easier to lift out. Slice cakes at the stand, so they don't dry out. Take cling film and greaseproof paper with you to wrap slices, plus a couple of knives. Tape a list of ingredients to each cake tin.

CHERRIES

If you use cherries whole, they will end up at the bottom of your cake. If you want them scattered through the sponge, try quartering or chopping them.

A very nice, moist and easy recipe. Not quite sure what the flaked almonds were for so I sprinkled on top, they sank with the cherries

Absolutely lovely, moist and scrumptious but my cherries - washed, dried, quartered and rolled lightly in flour - still all sank to the bottom but wouldn't stop me making it again. Definitely a recipe to hang on to.

I am going to try putting the cherries on top about halfway through the cooking time. Will let you know how it goes

Works perfectly every time. Lovely moist cherry cake. Rolling cherries in flour does help with preventing them sinking. Lasts a week if stored in a plastic cake container.Love this cake ; thank you James.

question

Could this mixture be used to bake cup cakes? If so how long in the oven?

Hi, thanks for your questions. Yes you can use this for cupcakes. The baking time will depend on the size you're making. We haven't tested this as smaller cakes so can't give exact timings. As a rough guide: small fairy cakes will take about 15-20 mins, whereas larger cupcakes could take about 30-35…

Beautiful cake - moist with a lovely taste of almond. Was still good to eat a week later. Didn't use the full quantity of milk (about 50ml). Am going to try again and substitute coconut rather than almond next time. My dad says it reminds him of the cake his mum used to bake when he was a kid…
