Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 20 x 30cm baking or roasting tin with baking parchment. Beat together the butter, flour, sugar, baking powder, eggs, yogurt and vanilla. Stir in the chopped cherries and snipped marshmallows. Scrape into the tin and bake for 25-35 mins until a skewer poked in comes out clean. Cool.

  • step 2

    To decorate, put the marshmallows into a pan with the milk and gently melt, stirring. Scrape into a bowl and cool, stirring occasionally, until thick enough to spread. Spread over the cake, dot over the halved cherries and slice into 15 squares.

This was a lovely moist cake. The topping was so easy to make and tasted yummy.

Made this cake today, absolutely no problems with it, and it turned out fantastic. Can't see what the negative comments are about, the topping was fine and a really lovely change to boring icing or buttercream. Definitely give it a try I will absolutely be making this again, thanks for the recipe…

made it yesterday and everyone loved it!! read the comments and applied some of the suggestions..the cake turned out awesome!! However, the marshmallow I got was a bit too sweet, but definitely going to do this again!!!

Made this today, having first read all the comments. I poured the topping on when it was still pourable, which meant I wasted a little around the edges but it gave a lovely even finish. Yummy - will definately make again!
