When I was in Singapore last week, most of the supermarkets were selling cherries, blueberries, nectarines, plums, etc. I loves all these fruits compare to our local fruits which are more to heating in their properties (likes durian, rambutan, langsat, mangosteen, etc). I would usually buy if it were comparatively cheap even if I don't have anything in mind what to do with them first. Fruits can be kept frozen in the freezer for months and be taken out to cook or bake if you stumble any recipes you had in mind later on. They will be just like fresh ones!

Care to join me for a slice and a cup of tea? It is really delicious, you know. Sad... I am munching here
alone.
Anyone for a slice?
Delicious looking bundt cake. Hi, I love the tea pot, so cute.
ReplyDeleteI love cherries and bundt cake. I always hesitating to put cherries in cake as it might dry out and loses it freshness. Yours turn out beautifully. I should give it a try.
ReplyDeleteHi Amelia,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comments. I got this sweet little tea pot from Singapore wet market. Just S$1.
Hello Victor,
I loves cherries too. I could eat all 500g at one go! But thought I save some to make cakes. No, the cherries didn't dry out when baking. It is more juicier after baking inside the cake. Do try it.
Oh Mel,
ReplyDeleteYour cherry bundt cake looks so festive! It makes me think of Christmas. I am going to keep this recipe and make one this coming Christmas. Two thumbs up for the effort!
Hi Quay Po
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comments! You can put more cherries in it and it will be more tasty and yummy.
Like Quay Po said, a very festive kind of cake, sound so refreshing and good.
ReplyDeleteI would like make this cake, looks delicius!!!
ReplyDeleteI have a question: how can I make the cherries don´t sink to the botton?
thanks from Spain
Hi Nieves
DeleteIt think its because the texture/batter of the cake is heavy, once the cherries are folded in, the cherries won't sink.
Hi Mel! thank you very much if I do, I'll tell you
Deletesee youu...
