CHERRY LOAF

Ingredients.......200gm of room temp butter/ marg, 1 egg lightly beaten, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 340 mg of plain flour, 1 dsp of baking powder, 1/2 tsp of salt, 125ml of water, 210gm of condensed milk, 110gm of glace cherries, halved. Preheat your oven to 180 deg C. Grease with cooking oil spray and sprinkle lightly with fine polenta. Mix the dry ingredients together( flour, baking powder and salt ), add the halved cherries, coating the cherries prevents them from sinking to the bottom of the cake batter. Cream the butter until fluffy and pale. Add the condensed milk, egg, vanilla extract and water. Finally fold in the flour and cherries. Spoon the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, cake is cooked when a skewer inserted comes out clean. Cover loosely with a sheet of baking paper if the top is colouring too much. Turn the cake onto a wire rack to cool completely.
