Steps:
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Butter a 900g loaf tin and line with baking parchment. Beat the butter and sugar together until pale and fluffy, then beat in the eggs one at a time, followed by the vanilla and almond extract (if using).
- Toss the cherries with 2 tbsp of the flour in a bowl. Tip the rest of the flour, the ground almonds, baking powder and a pinch of salt into the bowl with the sugar and eggs, and mix until just combined. Fold in the cherries and any remaining flour in the bowl. Spoon into the prepared tin and smooth over the top.
- Bake for 50-55 mins, or until a skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Leave to cool for 10 mins in the tin, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve as it is, or mix the icing sugar with the extract and enough milk to make a thick but pourable consistency. Drizzle over the loaf cake, and scatter over the flaked almonds to serve.

CHERRY CAKE - APPARENTLY FOR TWO
Great little loaves to have handy in the freezer for when unexpected, or expected company arrives. This is from the Company's Coming - Cooking for Two cookbook. It's moist, tasty, and very easy to prepare. They say it makes one small 7 x 7 cake, but I baked it in two mini loaf pans for 40 - 45 minutes. Freezes well too. I also tried substituting 1 for 1, whole wheat flour for the all purpose. Not a good idea ;)

Tips:
- Before you begin, preheat your oven: This guarantees that it reaches the proper temperature for baking when your cake batter is prepared.
- Ensure your ingredients are at room temperature, especially the butter: This will help them mix together more smoothly and evenly.
- Do not overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense cake. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Grease and flour your baking pan: This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the cake in the center of the oven: This will ensure that it bakes evenly.
- Check the cake for doneness with a toothpick: Insert a toothpick into the center of the cake. If it comes out clean, the cake is done. If it comes out with batter or crumbs attached, the cake needs to bake longer.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
