Sweet and Simple Monthly Bake - Cherry Bakewell Cake.

It’s our tenth baking challenge here at Sweet and Simple Bakes! We have scrumptious Cherry Bakewell Cakes for you to feast your eyes upon from our S&SB bakers here in our round-up.

All your entries look delicious; however, I (Rosie) am sorry to read that there have been a few problems with this recipe for some of our bakers. It comes as a disappointment when a bake doesn’t seem to turn out as expected; Maria and I bake each recipe before posting to hopefully overcome this problem.

We would like to thank everyone for all your continued support here at Sweet and Simple Bakes and we do hope that you will continue to support us with our bakes each month!

*If there are any late entries, I will endeavour to add you to the round-up as soon as possible!*

Cherry Bakewell Cake

Hola ‘dear’ S&SB bakers, the votes have been cast and now tallied and we have pleasure in announcing our winner for this month’s bake ~ Cherry Bakewell cake. If you adore Bakewell Tart then you’re really going to find this cake irresistible with its moist and feather-light sponge and almond/ morello cherry flavour running through. Additionally if you find morello cherry conserve/jam difficult to source, substitute with raspberry conserve/jam and it will be just as delicious! A few glacé cherries placed on top of the icing additionally with the flaked toasted almonds would also be a lovely.

The recipe can be found here
