I made this at the request of David, he likes his Cherry Cake so my idea of Banana Loaf didn't go down too well! But this cake is amazing! As you can see, my cherries sank, I have yet to master how to stop that happening, but the cake tastes great and it is SO moist. You can hear that soft moist sound when you break a piece off!! Amazing!!
