Halve the cherries and rinse under hot water to remove sticky coating. Dry with kitchen paper. Toss them in a tablespoon of flour until all coated.
Pre-heat oven to 170°c (150°c Fan ), 325°F, Gas 3. Grease and line your tin with baking paper.
Sift the flour and baking powder and leave in bowl until needed.
Cream the butter in your mixer until it is nice and creamy. Gradually beat in the sugar for 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Gradually add the beaten eggs.
Fold in the ground almonds then mix in the flour. Fold in the cherries until evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the tin and spread evenly. Bake for about 60-70 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch. Set the tin on a wire rack and leave until completely cold. Carefully take out of tin and peel off the lining paper.
