Sinking cherries

Oops. Mary Berry said that. Sorry.

Try adding ground almonds? Might give the mixture a bit more body to support the cherries. Sounds very batter-ish at the moment.

Half a bottle of almond essence?! Seems a lot.

This is what Mary Berry says -

You could try rinsing the syrup off the cherries, dry them on kitchen paper and then put them into the dry mixture.

Thanks for that, Little Annie, just googling support bras.

Recipe is plain flour, sugar, baking powder (can't remember exact amounts and too lazy to get up and look in notebook just now). Mix that up then mix in cherries, so they are coated in flour etc. Add the wet ingredients (2 eggs, half a bottle of almond essence, about 7 fluid ounces soya milk). Mix all together, put into loaf tin lined with baking paper, takes about 75 minutes.
The first attempt, last week, I used 10 fl oz soya milk but it seemed too wet at the time, but even with less this week still got sinking.

I read somewhere that you coat the cherries in flour as suggested by Cherry tree.

Or get a more supportive bra. (Sorry, couldn't resist that).

Recipe please ecci53

I roll the cherries in flour and then add to mixture.

Your cake sounds delicious
