Comments on: Sunken Sour Cherry Cake http://www.notquitenigella.com/2009/05/10/sunken-sour-cherry-cake/ The slightly eccentric eating, cooking and travel adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

So moist aich, a perfect blend of buttery sweetness and tart cherries. I have a cherry tree heavy with fruit, and I'm going to be making this a few times in the next couple of weeks. I'm a novice baker (translation: way too many failures to count) and I found this so easy and stress free. Thank you so much for the recipe. I made this cake yesterday and it was wonderful.

I love cherries (I think they're my favorite summer fruit) and bake them into all kinds of cakes, tarts, crisps, and what have you, and this might be my favorite of all the cherry cakes I've made. The cake was so nice and buttery and sturdy enough to hold even with the juicy cherries. I love the addition of rum in this.

I am thinking of making a note to bake something like this for Christmas. I made some cherry cupcakes from Nigella's HTBADG cook book and used sour cherries (it called for cherry preserve instead but couldn't get my hands on any up here). Despite the substition, they were a hit. Thanks!!! This looks great. I am thinking of making a note to bake something like this for Christmas.

However you can get sour cherries at the supermarket in large 700g jars in the tinned fruit section. They're quite inexpensive too especially compared to black cherries. Yes she suggest using plums too which I cna totally see would work. Yep the balance is so important! Hi Steph -Hehe yes! Breakfast because it has fruit in it! :P Hi Sophia-Yes I love fruit bursts! :) Hi Simon-It was very good and so simple! :) Yes you could do it that way or just keep pushing them down would also do :) Hi Lisa-Wonderful!

Hi Arwen-Ahh cool, well if you have any left over you can do both! ;) Hi ArtemisIII-Thankyou! :) Hi maris-Yes you're right! It's sturdy but not too fiddly! :) Hi Anita-Hehe it's definitely worth making ;) Hi Soma-I love strawberries and cream and cherries and cream. But when you add a butter cake to it-wow! Hi grace-Hehe it's almost like one of those lyrical Southern names isn't it! Hi justJENN-Yes do and let me know what you think of it! :) Hi Leela-It was nice and soft inside. Mr Gatsby's mum sure can write a mean recipe! Hi Cakelaw-Thankyou! Haha just make sure they know the story behind the name. Just calling it "spit cake" might scare them! :lol: Hi sara-Me too!
