    Best cake I have ever eaten , very moist and absolutely gorgeous. I cooked it for a long time at a very low heat as the mixture is very wet . The best

    Far too much fat and not enough flour. Even cooked it for longer to try to dry it out. This recipe needs updating as soon as possible.

    You maybe able to get this recipe to work if you increase the ratio of flour.

    Don't use this recipe it does not work at all. It does not include enough flour to make a proper sponge. After 40 minutes of cooking in a loaf tin the mix heats and then just runs down the side. I tried again as thought it might work with less cherries. Save your self time and money and search…
