Thank you for the recipe. I've made this three times now, it's the best cherry and almond cake recipe by far.

[@crazybaker1]

Thank you 😀 currently I have just made a Baileys cream banana cake, now if you like bananas and Baileys cream you need to test out this one, coming soon 😃😃

[@bernadettebaptiste5561]

Great video will be trying your recipe soon tx u

[@crazybaker1]

Thank you enjoy your baking 😊

[@shakeyvideo]

your bakehouse reminds me of my 20 years as a baker , the oven you fired the cake in is really old , i remember at doughschool they had a rotating gas oven , that was interesting and a mixer with what looked like forks , im a nurse now but enjoyed my time as a baker , your cherry cake is perfect

[@crazybaker1]

Thank you mate 😀 it's funny how many times I here that, it's like lots of new Bakers changed jobs 😀 it's like me I always wanted to bake different types of cakes etc, but in our market town people just don't want to buy from shops now, so me as a baker needs to do something interesting in baking and this is the one youtube, now I get to bake and show others how to 😀😀 laters

I just used desiccated coconut instead of ground almonds. I hope it comes out nice 🤩 thank you for sharing this recipe 🌻

[@pegasus8718]

What did you think of the cake with using desiccated coconut, please? I have some coconut flour and was thinking of replacing this with the ground almonds, for a change. Thank you.

[@eurekalass]

Oh wow lovely! I have some ground almonds doing nothing in the cupboard. No excuse!😃 Thank you👍🏻

Thanks for the recipe, made it for the family and they loved it. I wasn’t sure how many eggs to add, and added 3 medium sized eggs. How many do you use in your recipe?

[@crazybaker1]

Hi 175g = 6oz which is based 3 eggs, as a boy baker in the 1970s I was told that I must weigh the eggs, so funny thing is I sill do, as professional I have to make sure I teach everything I know 😀 and not to cut corners 😉 I have lots of different old recipes coming up soon 😉 I have just started Christmas recipes now 😀 laters Steve 😀

Hello Steve can I reduce the sugar it seems like a lot? Beautiful cake though😃👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@crazybaker1]

Yes, of course you can, personally with the cherry inside for me it's very sweet 😋

[@Roxyvvro]

What can I use instead of the crushed almonds if I don’t have it? Can I just use the extra flour?

[@crazybaker1]

Rice flour or flour 🙂

Ive baked your Cherry Cake recipe numerous times now. I’d like to make a Lemon drizzle cake now. Can I use the same cake batter, leaving out the fruit? I can’t seem to find a Lemon drizzle in your recipe page.

Hi yes of course, I was getting round to lemon drizzle cake, it's the same recipe with extra lemon zest 🍋 and hot lemon juice with icing sugar for the topping 😀 I can taste it now yummy 😋

And glace cherries? Does one also roll them in flour?

[@crazybaker1]

Just mix into ground almonds or flour all helps, funny thing is I always wash the cherry 🍒 and dry them before I make any cakes mixers, if you want to make something a bit different is using fresh cherry, makes a lovely cake 🎂

[@simonrajan3945]

How many eggs are there -175 gym is pretty vague

[@crazybaker1]

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you asking about the number of eggs in a context related to a gym, or is there another specific context you have in mind? Please provide more details so I can assist you better.

[@caitlink3313]

great video, this recipe looks really lovely! 🍒definitley going to give it a try. do you think it would still turn out okay if i didn't include the lemon juice + zest? thank you! :)

Yes of course

Thank you for this recipe, it looks good. Can I replace the Glace cherries with Mixed dried Fruit, or just Sultanas. Should I also wash and dry the dried fruit first?

Hi yes you can, with dried if they are very dry then yes, but in most cases it's ok 👍 laters Steve 😉

[@pegasus8718]

@@crazybaker1 Hi Steve, thanks for your fast reply. Are you saying, if they are very dry to wash them to plump the dried fruit up, or no need to wash the fruit. Sorry, to bother you with this again, but I want to get it right.

@@pegasus8718 yes 😀 I funny thing this week for making Hot cross Buns in the bakery, the boxes of fruit was very dry and stick together, and lots of seeds, quality was not the best, so basely I washed them and they came back to that nice quality, drying them off with coth, the hot cross buns was the best 👌

[@TheMistyjade1]

Just made your cherry cake it was lovely only the bottom of the cake was slightly hard. Any ideas what I did wrong Sue

[@crazybaker1]

Hi some times ovens have to much bottom heat, good tip is pop some ice on to the baking tray and bake the cake tin on that tray,this slow down the baking on the bottom of cake and also bake a nicer cake because of the steam, also you can use paper under the baking tin. Hopefully this will sort that out, ovens are a nightmare every body has a different types and all Bake different laters 😀 Steve

Thank you

I’m allergic to nuts, what could I use instead of the almonds please? Your channel was recommended by Steve from Digwell Greenfingers.

[@crazybaker1]

Hi mate welcome to my channel yes ground rice or semolina, I done some with rice and I think it's better than the almonds laters Steve

[@chunkymonkey7871]

Crazy Baker Thank you. Will have to look out for ground rice and then give this a go. My dad loves cherry cake and I would like to make this for him.

[@crazybaker1]

@@chunkymonkey7871 it's my favourite thing laters

[@sandieprice3700]

How many eggs please? You don't now if you have enough until you start cracking them. If you haven't got enough, you can't make the cake and have to use them for something else. Just asking😊

[@crazybaker1]

@sandieprice3700 175g of egg is about 3 lge eggs, if you do find you need extra liquid add in milk

[@yanirabazan5488]

Can u do the same for pineapples?

[@crazybaker1]

Yes it's the same, if you use fresh they'll most likely sink to the bottom of the cake, best to use glasses pineapple 🍍 enjoy 😉 laters

[@kimfearn4971]

I just made a loaf and a round, they look and smell amazing. I didnt quite have quite enough egg so I made up the 20g weight with milk. What would be a more appropriate egg substitute for tiny amounts to save me wasting an egg please? 🥚

[@crazybaker1]

At the bakery when I am short of egg I just add in water to make up the the amount, very much like you did, in the bakery I only have dried milk powder 😀

[@clivekandel6057]

I'm an ex pat living in NYC. Everything was great!!!! Reminded me of home. I used Swans flour....maybe a mistake? Problem is rather crumbly and soft. What was wrong? Best!!!!

[@crazybaker1]

Hi today we have so many different types of flour just in the UK, and of course the US is the same, now from what you said yes it's most likely flour, in the bakery when I an making this recipe I have used, soft cake flour, all purpose flour and a very low gluten bread flour all came out the same, now in the bakery I don't add in the ground almonds, because of so people who have a nut problem, so basely you can leave them out and replace with flour, hope this will help you 😀 laters Steve

[@christophermaguire3838]

@@crazybaker1 Ta!

[@shakeyvideo]

lot of comments on this one i remember when i was a lad in the bakery and when the owner made cherry cake he would send me to the chemist to get some titanic acid , its no joke it really exists and he put it in the cake to stop the cherries sinking.

[@crazybaker1]

I still use glycerine today, but most people don't no what it is, so I never mention it 😀

[@scottrobinson8189]

Unfortunately although I washed, dried and dusted the cherries, they all settled on the bottom of the cake. However, I have to say that it’s the best loaf cake for texture, moistness and cutting quality that I have ever baked. I will try a slightly stiffer mixture, but even leaving the cherries out, it has an amazing lemon flavour.

[@crazybaker1]

I had the same problem with cherries when I use different types of flour, and also cherries that hold to much sugar, the list can go on, the cake mixture itself I use for a base to most of my cakes even chocolate, very easy recipe and taste great, add in extra lemon and lemon sugar topping this is to di for 😀 laters Steve 😀

[@Dragon-Slay3r]

Cherry cake is round as a circle blood on the guys forehead which is left hence the injury on the right side of the forehead

[@angelareed1407]

Unfortunately my cherries all sank to the bottom of the cake, even though I followed all your instructions. My husband says he's going to try it next time.

[@crazybaker1]

Some times it's not the cherries but the mix may be to soft and need more flour, it's also happened to me when I used a different flour, to be honest it's luck 😀

[@gibby7233]

you said bake it for 1hour mine was burnt after 20 minuts at 170

[@crazybaker1]

This is due to oven, each oven does it's own thing, if you read your instructions for your own oven this will help you out baking, no oven is the perfect, me a professional Baker for over 35 years I do know about ovens, hope this helps you out laters

[@gibby7233]

there is no almonds in a traditonal cherry bun

[@crazybaker1]

There a different between a cake and a bun, and the Traditional means old fashioned, so almonds can be used in a Traditional Bakery recipe that is 1947 because it is an old recipe, if want a cherry cake without almonds or Buns you just leave them out and replace with flour or rice flour, hope this helps you laters

[@kimfearn4971]

It's not a bun 🤷‍♀️
