Hi N9eav,
If you toss them in flour before adding to the mix they tend not to sink to the bottom.

What Pink said - it also helps if you rinse off the syrup first, and then dry.

Maybe the cake mixture is a bit too soft?[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

Something else I always wonder is, if I throw the cherries on the top of the cake, instead of mixing them in, would they just sink into the cake mix a bit, or would they sink right down?[SIZE=-1]"Knowledge is knowing that a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad"[/SIZE]

I use this recipe from Delia Online Old-fashioned Cherry Cake and the cherries remain suspended in the cake. I am quite bad at baking cakes but i can make this one, it's very tasty

I suppose you could put half of the cake mix in the tin then mix the cherries in the remaining half and add on top

They don't sink in her cake. I hate almonds though, I wonder if I can substitute something else?NO to pasty tax We won!!!! Just shows that people power works! Don't be apathetic to your cause!0 -

Mayeb slow cooked cakes are better for suspending fruit as opposed to high temp buns or victoria sandwich.
I sure could eat a bit of cake right now
