Today I tried making this cake "or something similar".
I have included the recipe link below.
Step One:
The shopping list
Step Two
The ingredients
Step Three
The Method
Butter and sugar creamed:
Added Eggs and vanilla (I did not use almond essences):
Dry ingredients added (I substituted 150g ground almonds for 125g flour as ground almonds are very expensive):
Added cherries (and chocolate cause who doesn't love chocolate):
Prepare baking tin:
Bake at 180 for 40-45 min:
Take out to cool:
Decorate (I used chocolate mousse in a can and melted chocolate extra):
This is a nice tea cake recipe but I would serve this with vanilla ice-cream as a treat due to it being very rich. Everyone loved it but like I said very rich and sweet so don't have too much. The cake is moist but not light it is more along the pudding line than as a cake. Not great for children, more for impressing your rich friends. :P
