English cake
Description
Delicious baked treat for the whole family. Instead of dried cherries, you can also use dried cranberries for the cake. To neatly remove the cake from the pan without damaging it, let it cool completely in the pan. Then, gently run a knife along the sides to separate the cake from the pan. If desired, decorate the cooled cake with powdered sugar or a glaze made from powdered sugar and lemon juice. Serve warm or chilled. Perfect with tea.
