Summary: Grans Cherry Cake was well received by Mr Ask and he was definitely open to more ‘plain’ cakes in his life. He pondered the possibility of a Craisin version of Cherry Cake. So, I baked one and it was delicious with a slathering of good butter! As the cherries are so sweet and craisins are tart, I added a touch more sugar to this version. Aside from deliciousness, I love these cakes. No need to mess about with icing and they last well. I have fond memories of finding these cakes in my lunchbox but these days they are the perfect accompaniment to a pot of tea.
