Cherry almond cake
I bought one more loaf tin few days back and I wanted to use it very badly.I also had almond essence ready, which my sister had brought from UAE and all I wanted was a good and nice recipe.And lo I found this recipe in Nita mehtas book which looked very inviting.I also had leftover glazed cherries lying in the fridge after I had baked the fruit and nut cake during Christmas time.I had bookmarked this recipe long time back and had forgotten about it completely.And yes, I was very satisfied with the result of the cake and it got over in a jiffy.If my hubby dear S has to praise then it has to be good.The cake is festive enough for a formal tea or coffee.
