Cherry almond slice

 


INGREDIENTS

1 x 680g jar of pitted morello cherries

100ml reserved cherry juice

240g of almond meal 

1t (5g) of baking powder

3 eggs 

125g unsalted butter

125g caster sugar⠀


METHOD

Cream the butter and caster sugar in a stand mixer

Add eggs one by one, making sure to whisk really well between each egg.  By the third egg it may look split but will come back together with the addition of the flour

Add the almond meal and baking powder and whisk to combine

Line a 20cm square tin with baking paper

Pour in cherries (drained) and arrange into a single layer

Pour in the 100ml of reserved cherry juice

Gently place batter over the top and spread to fill gaps

Tap on the bench to remove any air bubbles

Place in your oven preheated to 160C (fan forced) and bake for 40 minutes

To serve, turn out on a plate or chopping board so the cherries are on top and cut into slices
