Cooking Instructions

step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a springform pan with butter and line the base with baking paper.

step 2

In a large bowl, beat the Salted Butter (1/2 cup) with the Granulated Sugar (2/3 cup) until pale and fluffy.

step 3

Add the Eggland's Best Organic Eggs (Brown) (2) one at a time, beating well after each egg. Use a spatula to fold in the Cake Flour (1/3 cup), Almond Flour (3/4 cup), and Baking Powder (0.5 oz).

step 4

Spoon the batter into the prepared springform pan and use the spatula to smooth the top. The batter will only fill the pan about 2.5 cm thick.

step 5

Arrange the Cherries (20) over the top of the batter and bake in the oven (fan off) for 25 minutes.

step 6

Remove the cake from the oven, sprinkle over the Sliced Almonds (1/2 cup) and return the cake to the oven for a further 10 minutes. The cake is cooked once a skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.

step 7

Leave the cake to cool in the pan before turning it out and dusting the top with Powdered Confectioners Sugar (to taste). Serve the cake and enjoy!
