Summer Cherry Cake
Summer Cherry Cake
"Summers always tasted of cherries when I was a kid. Sun blazing July, a holiday cottage, me ensconced in a hammock with my two cousins; a huge paper bag of cherries between us, swinging gently and spitting the stones ahead, competing for who spat them further. I don't spit out stones around these days but I still love cherries in cakes. You can use frozen berries all year round but cherries do not freeze that well and so retain the summery, seasonal flavour. This cake recipe is pathetically simple – and fool proof every time. No mixer needed, no effort, five minutes in the kitchen, fourty-five in the oven and the best taste of summer is there, back with me."

A really good recipe, thank you! It is winter here in South Africa but I wanted to make this Summer Cherry Cake, nonetheless, so I used the blueberries from our garden that I froze during the summer. With a generous dollop of whipped cream on top it was lovely and we really loved it enough to make it again. I will, however, definitely be making it in summer when cherries are back in season.
