  I always rinse and dry the cherries thoroughly, then halve and dust with flour, they never sink!

  I didn't make this cake because I already have a favourite cherry & almond cake recipe, but I thought I would share a tip which works for me... Pour half the batter into the tin then cover it with a very, very thin layer of marzipan (roll it out between cling film), then place your cherries on the marzipan and pour over the remaining mixture. This should stop the cherries sinking to the bottom. Instead, you'll have a thick band of cherries baked into the middle of the cake.

  Would like to try this recipe but don't like glacé cherries. Has anybody tried with other cherries from a jar?

  Trein with cherry from a jar and turned out nice. Nice flavor but way to greasy and buttery for me.

  This is the first cake I've made in a couple of years and its lovely tho I would prefer it to be more almondy. My cherries also sunk even after washing and coating in flour. Having looked at the photo, maybe they should be at the bottom.

  My cake is in the oven as we speak! However I always wash the glace cherries first to get rid of the sugary syrup. I dried them off and dusted them in flour... watch this space! :)
