Cherries always remind me of mum, don’t worry she’s not dead just yet, I’m just reminiscing here. Her birthday is in mid-July, when the cherries are perfectly ripe and there’s a row of cherry trees down a local lane near to my house where, not too long ago, mum and I spent a hysterical day balancing on a ladder, on the flat-bead of our truck.

4 ripe peaches - de-stoned & quartered

6 plums - de-stoned & quartered

100g cherries - pitted

4 large free-range eggs

200g butter

200g sugar

150g sr flour

50g ground almonds

a little extra butter and sugar

You will need a baking tray or rectangular cake tin which should be lined with parchment. Mine is 24cm x 33cm and is the Prism baking pan by @nordicwareuk

Spread a little butter onto the parchment and sprinkle with a little sugar.

Pre-heat the oven to 170C / 338F

Wskazówki

Place the cut peaches and plums into the bottom of the cake tin in alternate rows. Set aside.

Place the butter and sugar into a large bowl and whisk until light and fluffy, then add the eggs and flours and beat well until the whole thing is smooth. Stir in the cherries.

Carefully spoon the cake batter over the fruit and spread out trying not to dislodge the rows.

Bake for 45 minutes or until golden and firm to touch. Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. Allow to cool entirely before placing board on top and flipping it over. Cut into squares to serve.
