George's cherrynutpan buns

Preheat the oven to 185C or 360F or gas mark 4.

Cream the butter with the caster sugar. Then whisk the egg and add to the butter and sugar and beat together (don't worry if it curdles).

Add the grated marzipan, chopped cherries and coconut and stir in.

Fold in the flour and baking powder, then spoon the mixture into the bun cases and put in the oven as quickly as possible so they rise.

Check them after about 12 minutes and when they are golden brown leave them in the oven but turn the oven off. After 5 minutes remove from the oven and put on a cooling rack.

Once they are cooled use a small spoon or the end of a spoon to take out a little bit of cake from the centre of each bun, then fill the hole that you just made with jam and spread a layer over the surface of the bun.

Next make the icing by creaming butter and icing sugar, the add the coconut- if the mixture is too runny add more icing sugar or coconut, if it's to stiff add some soft butter.

Ether use a piping bag or put a blob of icing on top of each bun and use a warmed knife to swirl it or smooth.

Place the cherry halves on the icing for the decoration.

Eat and enjoy!
