Sunday 21 September - Cherry and Almond Cake

This was my second attempt at making this cake - last time I used a silicon baking tin and it was a bit of a disaster. I spotted a fine tin in TK Max and snapped it up in order to have another go.

A pretty straightforward all in one cake mix, but with some ground almonds and lemon zest added to the batter.

The cherries were quartered, and then washed thoroughly to remove the sugary coating that was on them, and these were then folded into the cake batter.

Once the cake was cooked, it was cooled before icing.

Finally the decorations, some toasted flaked almonds and reserved glace cherries.
