Hola ‘dear’ S&SB bakers, the votes have been cast and now tallied and we have pleasure in announcing our winner for this month’s bake ~ Cherry Bakewell cake. If you adore Bakewell Tart then you’re really going to find this cake irresistible with its moist and feather-light sponge and almond/ morello cherry flavour running through. Additionally if you find morello cherry conserve/jam difficult to source, substitute with raspberry conserve/jam and it will be just as delicious! A few glacé cherries placed on top of the icing additionally with the flaked toasted almonds would also be a lovely.

Super cake ,very beautiful I might bake it for my birthday !! Grazie !
Hi - baked it yesterday and it tasted great but looked nothing like the picture! :(
It was about 1/2 the height of yours. Was the cake ingredients supposed to be multiplied by 2?
And the icing that I made with the lemon juice and icing sugar became translucent when I poured it on top and didn't have that nice white "icing" effect of yours?
Wondering where I went wrong. Pls help.
Hi Nazarina, thank you for your lovely comment :0)

Best wishes Rosie x
Hi Arundathi, Oh no I am sorry to read this because Maria and I bake each recipe before posting to hopefully overcome this problem.
It really is awful when things don’t turn out and yes it’s happened to me before in bakes and such a disappointment.
Ok the cake I baked is the same recipe as posted on S&SB so thinking here..... was the baking powder you used in date do you know because this would affect the rise of a cake. Now for the icing I really am stumped here because I used lemon juice which if I’m correct in speaking helps maintain the white colour.
I wonder if Maria or anyone S&SB baker can add anything or help on this matter?
Best wishes as always Rosie x
I so wanted to join in this month but have run out of time but it will get done eventually! Looks gorgeous!
