Cherry & Almond Traybake

I made this cake yesterday as we were having visitors.
It is another, throw it all in recipe, so it was nice and easy. The hardest part is cutting up the glace cherries. Actually it is worth noting that it needs 225g of cherries, and the pot that I had bought only contained 200g. I only realised this once I'd started measuring out, but I decided that it would not make too much difference.
As it turned out, you don't miss the extra cherries, although I am sure it would be even nicer with them.
Mary said to bake it for 40 mins, so I checked mine after 35 and it was already cooked. Next time I may even try it for 30 mins. It is a tiny bit dry around the edges, but the pieces in the middle are delicious!
The centre of the cake gets 8.5, the edges get 7.75!! I'm not sure that's allowed, but nevermind!
Its Ellie's birthday at the weekend, so I am building myself up for something exciting - watch this space!
