6 Inch Cakes

Because 6 inches is enough

Mary Berry’s Cherry Cake

Mary Berry cherry cake scaled down to a 6 inch tin, with glace cherries, ground almonds and a lemon icing. Mine sank a little the first time, so there is a note below on flouring the cherries.

6 inch spring form tin, I used the Ninja 9 in 1, bake function, 170 30 to 35 mins, bake until the skewer is clean.

I made this treat a friend as it is one their favourites.

The cherries sank a bit, so next time I will try Delia’s trick and also flour the cherries. I also used bottle lemon juice and omitted the zest and added a tsp of almond essence.
