Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C and grease a 23cm bundt tin with butter.

Quarter the cherries, reserving five for decoration, then rinse, dry, and toss the rest in 30ml of flour.

Beat the remaining ingredients in a bowl for two minutes and fold in the cherries.

Pour the batter into the tin and bake for 35 to 40 minutes until golden.

Cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Mix icing sugar with lemon juice to form a thick paste.

Drizzle icing over the cake and top with toasted almonds and reserved cherries.
