Method

  • STEP 1

    Mix the cherries and the brandy and leave to soak for a few hrs.

  • STEP 3

Whisk the oil, rice milk and agave syrup, then add to the dry ingredients and stir in with a wooden spoon. Add the cherries and any brandy, then scrape into the tin. Bake for 35-45 mins until crisp on top but fudgy in the centre. Cool in the tin.
