Granny’s Top Tips
♥ Rinsing the cherries and tossing them in flour is an important step to avoid them sinking in the batter. Don’t skip it! ♥ Using a bundt tin is not essential. If you don’t have one you could easily use a round cake tin or a loaf tin although you may need to adjust your baking time. Keep a close eye – you’ll know it’s ready when a skewer inserted comes out clean.

Cherry Bundt Cake
PRINT RECIPEPrep Time: 20 minutes minutes
Cook Time: 35 minutes minutes
Servings: 12
Ingredients
For the Cake
- 200 g Glacé Cherries
- 175 g Butter (at room temperature)
- 175 g Caster Sugar
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract/Paste
- 3 Eggs
- 250 g Self-raising Flour
For the Decorating
- 175 g Icing Sugar
- Boiling Water
- Handful of Glacé Cherries
Instructions
For the Cake
- Pre-heat your oven to 190°c and generously grease a 9 inch bundt tin with some butter.
- Cut your cherries in half, place into a sieve and rinse them well under running water. Drain and dry well on some kitchen roll. Toss the cherries in a couple of tablespoons of flour and set aside.
- Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time and mix until combined. Add the vanilla and mix until combined.
- Sift in the flour and gently fold together to create a batter. Once combined gently fold in the cherries until evenly distributed.
- Transfer the mixture to your pre-greased bundt tin and bake in your pre-heated oven for 30-35 minutes until risen, golden and a skewer inserted comes out clean.
- Leave to cool in the tin for a least 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
For the Decorating
- Once your cake is completely cool, mix the icing sugar with a small amount of boiling water, adding more as required to create a gloopy icing.
- Pour the icing over your cake and top with some extra halved-cherries.
