Instructions
  1. Prepare a pot of tea, allow to brew and pour over cherries. Leave for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Line an oven tray and pre heat-oven to 180°C.
  3. Whisk all ingredients together apart from the soaking cherries. When cake mix is glossy, fold in drained fruit then add an egg cup or two of remaining tea to create a dropping consistency.
  4. Spoon into an oblong tin lined with parchment.
  5. Bake for half an hour and test cake with a metal skewer. The skewer should come out clean, not sticky and cake should be well risen and set. Cut in fingers to serve.
Recipe Notes

If you prefer to use a deeper cake tin for your cake, it requires a longer cooking time.
