Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 x 425g cans pitted black cherries, in syrup
6 tbsp cherry jam
200g butter, softened
200g golden caster sugar
3 large eggs
50g self-raising flour
140g ground almond
1 tsp almond extract
50g flaked almond
icing sugar, for dusting
cream or custard, to serve

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Tip the syrup from the cherries and the jam into a saucepan. Boil for 10-15 mins until the liquid has reduced by half and is thick and syrupy, and add the cherries to the pan. Pour into a baking dish, roughly 18 x 25cm, then set aside.
  • In a large bowl, mix the butter, sugar, eggs, flour, almonds, almond extract and a pinch of salt with an electric whisk until combined. Dollop the sponge mixture over the cherries and spread to a smooth layer, trying not to disturb the cherries underneath too much. Scatter over the flaked almonds, then bake for 45 mins until a skewer inserted into the sponge layer comes out clean. Leave to cool for 5 mins, then dust with icing sugar and serve with cream or, better yet, custard.
