Cherry cake recipe please??

newlywed

Ok so it's all you guys fault. I picked up a cherry madeira cake type thing in the supermarket at lunch time. Read the ingredients and put it back!! Too many additives etc.

So I have a large pot of lovely glace cherries at home and I want a cherry cake recipe please??

I also have flour, eggs, sultanas, raisins, caster sugar, demerera and dark brown soft sugar and various cakey-making bits!!

Oh and the more cherries in it the better as the shop stuff never has enough in them anyway (unless it's the M&S very cherry cake!!)

Hi newlywed,

Delia's cherry cake is hard to beat!

oooohhh, you're evil!:rotfl: Now I'm just going to have to go and bake one. My excuse will be the usual one: "Those darn cravings...."

Thanks. That's going to be made tomorrow.

Best thing is that no-one else likes glace cherries so it'll be all mine!!!

Isn't that the best cake ever? The one that you can bake and know that it won't be devoured by the cake-vultures as soon as it comes out of the oven?:rotfl:

Well if it's shared out equally then I don't mind as it stops me putting too much weight on .

Having said that, one day I baked chocolate cup cakes left them in the fridge and popped out to see my mum... returned to find the 3 of them had devoured every single one... I was mighty annoyed that they hadn't even left me one!!!! They haven't dared do that since

I've just got a thing about cherries anyway and OH knows if there's fresh cherries in the fridge then he's not to take any unless he can do it without me noticing - if he's very good then I'll share them with him.

Does anyone have a recipe for cherry cake please ?

I usually make a Mary Berry recipe, but can't find it online

This one by Delia is similar, and she says it's foolproof - the cherries don't sink :T If you make it, please will you report back - I'm used to cherries sinking

There's an older thread on cherry cakes - I'll add this later.

i just do a basic sponge mix (weigh eggs and then equal quantities of flour, sugar and butter) and add a little milk. add a couple of handfuls of coconut and some washed glace cherries that have been halved and cut in half.

it's yummy

(i miss cake )

Thanks Pen, off to check my baking cupboard to see if I have got everything. If not, I can see a trip to Asda, I really want a cherry cake now
