Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 11

200g butter, well softened, plus extra for greasing
200g golden caster sugar
100g ground almond
100g self-raising flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp almond extract or essence
4 large eggs
½ a 340g jar morello cherry conserve
175g icing sugar
5-6 tsp water or lemon juice
1 tbsp ready-toasted flaked almonds

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and make sure there's a shelf ready in the middle. Butter and line the bases of two 20cm round sandwich tins with baking paper.
  • Using electric beaters, beat together all the cake ingredients with a pinch of salt until smooth, then spoon into the tins and level the tops. Bake for 30 mins or until golden and springy. Don't open the oven before 25 mins cooking time has passed.
  • When they're ready, cool the sponges for a few mins, then tip out of the tins and cool completely on a wire rack. Make sure the top of one of the cakes is facing up as you'll want a smooth surface for the icing later on.
  • When cool, put one sponge on a serving plate, then spread with jam. Sandwich the second sponge on top. Sieve the icing sugar into a large bowl. Add the water or lemon juice, then stir until smooth and thick. Spread evenly over the top and let it dribble over the sides. Scatter with the nuts and leave to set for a few mins before cutting.

CHERRY BAKEWELL CAKE



Cherry Bakewell Cake image

One of my culinary discoveries since moving to the UK is the Cherry Bakewell Tart. They are just so yummy and feel very British to eat. So, when I saw this cake version in BBC Good Food magazine I simply had to add it for sometime when I am allowed to cheat on my diet and there are other people to share it so that I don't eat the whole thing myself!
