Cherry Cake in the Bread Maker
Description
Baking this is straightforward and quick. Don’t let the cake’s baking time put you off. Since the batter is rich in butter, eggs, and sugar, it needs to bake through properly; in a bread machine that takes longer. In return you get a soft, crumbly crumb that many people will enjoy. By the way, you can substitute coconut flakes with starch. It goes well with tea or coffee.
