And I remember it was for a church function and all of us kids went home with dozens of these tasty loaves. The cherries and moistness were the best parts.

He will go round buying everything on the list when he makes something, without checking the cupboard first. So we always have at least 3 jars with vanilla pods in, that sort of thing. I usually make something to use up if I can. This could use up the cherries left over from his Xmas extravaganza shopping spree.sensibiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08715737628925538412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-91053613088009928802011-12-11T17:48:45.820+00:002011-12-11T17:48:45.820+00:00Hi Kezia

With the loaf, the banana made it a firmer batter so they were supported during baking.<br />With the madeira, a much thinner batter, some did sink a bit but enough didn't that it still looked ok!<br /><br />Happy bakingThe Caked Crusaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02840224194242219981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-430441346293872555.post-38345680690191431582011-12-11T17:48:24.055+00:002011-12-11T17:48:24.055+00:00I'm pretty sure I fall into both categories......I'm pretty sure I fall into both categories... and your comment about chopping up the cherries and being reminded of clown noses...

The cake looks lovely and moist! Oh and btw, how did you get the cherries not to sink right to the bottom of the cake?
