Fruity loaf cake ideal for afternoon tea! Coating the cherries with flour before stirring in keeps them from sinking.

I adored black forest gateaux in the 70s and loved trifle so decided I would fuse the two. You can make it all from scratch but also easy to substitute ready made goods if you don't have the inclination. The ingredients are split to enable you to decide at each 'layer'.

I kind of just threw this thing together one day, but it turned out great. I don't like alcohol, but the rum (I used a cherry rum) made it all that more amazing. Sorry there's no picture, but you'll have to take my word on it when I say that it tastes great. If anyone makes this and adds a picture, that would be even better.

Try this and you'll see how easy it is to make. You can top with any kind of fruit but the tinned cherry fruit filling gives it a lovely colour!

This isn't a cheesecake - it's a luscious butter cake made rich and delicious with the addition of cream cheese. It has a nutty topping and is studded with ruby red glace cherries. A really stunning cake, especially round Christmas.
