When adding heavy ingredients to cake batter (such as the marzipan and cherries), tossing them in flour first helps stop them sinking, as does reserving half of them to push into the top of the mixture.

I love this cake because I adore almond in any shape or form and this method makes the cake so moist and then you add cherries….mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I love this recipe because it’s a winning combination of delicious Middle Eastern and British ingredients. The addition of marzipan cubes is inspired! And it’s pretty healthy too..
