This is a very good cake and looks appealing with a layer of matt white icing studded with whole cherries (you can halve them if you haven’t got enough).

Ingredients

  • 225 g (8 oz) glacé cherries
  • 225 g (8

Method

To prepare cherries for cakes and puddings put them in a wire sieve and let them stand over a pan of simmering water for 10 minutes, for the syrup to drip off. Now let them cool and dust them with some of the measured flour.

Sieve the remaining flour and baking powder together. Preheat the oven to 160°C, 325°
