cherry cake
Red-topped sweet treat
Cherry cake is a sweet baked dessert featuring cherries—typically glacé (candied) cherries—distributed throughout a butter cake batter.
The cherries tend to sink during baking, a notorious challenge for home bakers.
British versions often appear at tea time, while other traditions incorporate fresh or maraschino cherries: She brought her grandmother's cherry cake to the potluck.
