Then you must add some cherries.

Roll the Glace Cherries in flour first, then add them to the cake mix. This will stop them sinking during baking.

I once forgot to put the cherries in the cake mixture - it had been in the oven for 10 mins before I realised - so I put them on top of the part cooked cake and back in the oven. It was the best cherry cake I'd ever made. That is my preferred method now

you can add chopped cherries to a normal cake mix if you like. my mum used to make a lovely loaf cake with cherries in and loads of sugar sprinkled on top before baking to give a yummy crunchy topping.

Hi, make sure you wash the cherries in cold water to get rid of the syrup!

You can use a 4-4-4-2 method.

Cream together 4ozes of butter or margerine
with 4ozes of caster sugar.
Lightly beat two eggs in a cup and add carefully, alternating with 4ozes SR flour to mixture.Fold in halved cherries. Put in tin and cook for about 40 mins on 150c. when cake is cooked the top will spring back when poked.

Enjoy!!!!

MooMoo
Dates, walnuts, apricots and pinneapple are all good in cakes

Well, you don't wash glace cherries so ignore that one. Just toss them in some flour before adding to cake.

If you are using glacé cherries in your cake then wash the cherries first so they dont sink.

First you get your glace cherries.
Then you add them to your cake mix. If you're in doubt about them sinking, add them at the same time as you add the flour. That's it !

cherry cake

125gm (4 oz) self raising flour

3 eggs

8 dessertspoons sugar

milk

cherries - best with fresh ripe cherries, ideally stoned (I don't bother but I have a tolerant family)

Method

Beat/whisk the eggs, then add the sugar and beat that in to the eggs
Add the flour to the mix, and beat it in - you will probably need to use a fork, since it is too thick for a hand-held whisk and the recipe is too quick to bother getting the food-mixer out
Add a small amount of milk, perhaps 1/2 a cup, and mix well in. The consistency should be half-way between double cream and single cream - quite smooth but not at all watery. A cherry placed in the cake mix should stay put, not roll around!
Pour the mix into a tart/quiche type dish, quite low and flat
Add the cherries, carefully laid in an attractive pattern if it is for a dinner party (careful, this can add 2 minutes to the preparation time)
Cook in a PREHEATED hot oven (225degrees c / gas 7) for about 35-40 minutes, then remove. You can sprinkle some sugar on top if you want it to look even more sophisticated.
Serve your chery cake, ideally still hot but still nice cold, with a big blob of creme fraiche. Yum.
