Ah: clever stuff! Why have I never thought of that before??? I've always lamented the way gravity seems to bring them down yet it's never occurred to me to reduce the weight first . . . I'm going to bake another cherry cake today, so let's see what Newtonian Law achieves, this time around. Thanks again, TS. :T0 -

My aunt used to add a small pinch of baking powder to the flour, which chemically was sort-of cheating.

Are you using 'marg' or butter? I find butter gives a stiffer batter which holds fruit better. Maybe tweak your recipe to firm it up.Accept your past without regret, handle your present with confidence and face your future without fear0
