That and the fact it’s a MaryBerry recipe. This delicious cherry cake is moist and studded with french glacé cherries throughout the cake, and ground almonds and lemon zest for flavour and texture
Basically, MaryBerry's technical challenge this week was a tennis cake. MaryBerry has annoyed me. Maybe Mary has shares in a baking parchment company and wants everyone to use and buy more
And the winner of the LOVELY book, MaryBerry’s Ultimate Cake Book, goes to………. Vanessa from Cakes and Teacups for her LOVELY Black Forest Gateau, as this was the FIRST time she has ever attempted anything like this, and she will really benefit from the Mary Bery book as a novice cake maker, plus, her Black Forest Gateau was GORGEOUS
This recipe has never failed me and always turns out a lovely deep, moist sponge cake that is man enough to cope with the weight of the jam, cream and extra fruit as well as its other half, without collapsing at all

This recipe is from MaryBerry, a well-known baker here in the UK. This guarantees you a moistcake. Soaking my fruits and baking my Christmas cake is something I look forward to all year, I absolutely love it
It comes from this cookery book, written by Mary Younkin, creater of Barefeet in The Kitchen. Ohhh, I just had a thought, this would be excellent during strawberry season along with crushed berries and a dollop of whipped cream
Jen made MaryBerry’s lemon yoghurt cake last year and enjoyed the taste and texture that the yoghurt gave to the cake, so that was the inspiration for this recipe, and I think her cakes look SO pretty as well as sounding wonderful with all those great ingredients
So I headed to my cookbook shelf and saw MaryBerry's Baking Bible. The cake came out incredibly moist and I found the banana taste was actually quite subtle and the walnuts really added another dimension of flavours and that extra bit of crunchy texture
I don't know the exact logistics of large scale bacon cooking, but it tasted like this had been made in a big old batch and then left to hang about, in a moist environment
