My mom got this recipe from my dad's cousin long long time ago. So, when I grew up on the farm, my mom would bake this every year. I only realised when I moved here to Gahamstown, that it is uncommon to have cherry fruit cake for Christmas.
I tried out the recipe yesterday (with my new Kenwood chef :D) and it turned out as close to what I remembered. The only thing is, I used broken cherries and that discoloured the batter into a pink colour, but it is still the same taste.
I also forgot - the cake taste better the next day! First and only rule of baking - note to self - fruit cake taste better the next day! :D
