  • 150 grams of butter
  • 6 egg whites
  • 6 egg whites
  • 1 tablespoon of milk
  • 1 tablespoon of milk
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
  • 185 grams of almond meal
  • 185 grams of almond meal
  • 240 g of sifted pure icing sugar
  • 240 g of sifted pure icing sugar
  • ½ cup of SR flour
  • ½ cup of SR flour
  • 1 cup of drained (pitted) morello cherries or similar fruit
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to a moderately low temperature (160 celsius)
  2. Grease and line a deep 20cm round tin, I used my heart tin but it works better in a round tin.
  3. Place your egg whites in a bowl and whisk until combined
  4. Melt your butter in a small saucepan.
  5. Add the milk, vanilla, melted butter, icing sugar and self raising flour. Stir until it is just combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into a prepared tin and top with fruit.
  7. Bake for about 1 hour and 30 minutes.
  8. If the top gets too brown during the baking process you might like to place a piece of foil on top to keep it from browning.
  9. Allow to cool slightly in the tin before turning it out onto a wire rack to cool.
  10. Dust with icing sugar and a few extra cherries and enjoy.
