Ingredients

3 eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
60ml coconut oil or melted butter (and a little extra for greasing the tin)
2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)
300g fresh cherries
200g ground almonds
100g self-raising flour (or gluten free alternative)
Flaked almonds for topping (optional)

Contains:

  • Eggs

Method

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 160°C / 140°C fan / Gas Mark 3, and grease a 15cm x 10cm loaf tin with a little oil. Whisk together eggs, vanilla and oil/butter (and maple syrup if using). Chop cherries in half and carefully remove all the stones, then add to bowl and stir in.

 

Serve with fresh cherries and some yogurt or cream cheese, or simply a little butter or nut butter. We think this loaf tastes great without the maple syrup, but see what you think and add a little if you prefer a more cake like taste. You could try it with other fruit as well, such as raspberries or whatever is in season. Best stored in the fridge as there is no sugar to preserve it. You can gently warm through in oven or under grill, or serve cold. It will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge, or it can be cut into slices and frozen - so a slice can be defrosted quickly whenever you need it.
