  This is a fantastic pudding to make, a bit tricky in plaes, but it tastes reall nice, and my Dad who is a huge cherry fan quietly enjoyed it!!

  Every time I have made this it has needed a few minutes extra in the oven but it's always great and if you don't have cherries, apples are great in this!

  Loved the juicy cherries in this. Needed a touch more milk in the batter and a touch more flour in the topping for me. I used a slightly bigger tin as it was handy and shouldn't have - stick to the smaller one for more depth!

  This was easy to make and tasted fantastic. I just wish that I could have made a bigger one!!! My family demolished it in no time at all.

  So easy to make that my 8 year old son made it. It needed a bit of milk in the batter and slightly longer to cook but was delicious. Would definitely make it again.

  I used drained tinned cherries, and the result was brilliant. I also decorated the top using some warmed raspberry jam, 2 tbsp of cherry syrup ( from the drained cherries) I drizzled it over the top, then drizzled white icing as well. The decoration took away the plainess of the look of the cake, all the family loved it!

  I enjoyed the process of making this cake and it is one of the few recipes I've tried that came out looking like the picture! i gave the cake an extra five minutes cooking just to make sure the centre wasn't sticky. the fruit and crumble topping is delicious, but next time I would add slightly less sugar to the cake itself.

  Lovely cake. I did give it 5 minutes extra cooking time and it was just perfect. Will definitely make this again.

  I am allergic to raw cherries but can eat them cooked so this is ideal for me. It's delicious. Mine took 35 mins in fan oven. The amount of cherries seems a lot, I thought they might make the cake soggy, but it's just right. We had it with creme fraiche as that's what I had in the fridge, and it went really well with it.

  Delicious! I also have a very similar recipe for an apple cake so it would work very well substituting apples for the cherries, or raspberries would be just as tasty!

  Absolutely delicious! Like others, I had to cook for a little bit longer, and found that I needed more flour in the topping. Served with vanilla ice cream and it went down a storm. I will definitely make this one again.

  I made this to use up some cherries that were too large due to the huge amount of recent rainfall. We deceided that cooking them would concentrate the flavour. I increased the amount of cinnamon and it worked a treat.

  Had to add approx 2 extra tbsps of milk to the mixture as very stiff and thick initially. Also had to add more flour to the topping mix and cooked for 5 mins longer than recipe said. All in all, a delicious cake but an inaccurate recipe.

  This cake is absolutely delicious, it is very easy to make and it looks exactly like the photo. I didn't change anything in the recipe, it was all perfect for me, including the baking time. I made it twice so far and it works every time, I used defrosted frozen black cherries that come stoned already, so not much work. The first time I was a bit suspicious as the batter is very thick and sticky - I persevered and it works. Will do it again MM
