Notes
- Toss your cherries with some flour before you fold them into the batter. This way, they will not sink to the bottom, and you get a bit of juicy red berry in every bite. FYI, this trick works for any fruit cake!
- For the neatest slices, you really need to wait for it to cool before you slice. I had no patience, so mine were a bit crumbly!
- If there are leftovers, store them in an air-tight container and refrigerate. They will stay well for 3-4 days.
- Cold or warm, the cake is super soft either way. But feel free to microwave leftovers for 10 seconds.
- Use room temperature ingredients. This helps in blending them better and gives a better texture.
