Morello Cherry & Almond Traybake Recipe

Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and grease a baking tray.

In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and caster sugar until light and fluffy.

Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and then stir in the almond extract.

Add the ground almonds and self-raising flour to the bowl and fold until well combined.

Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking tray.

Scatter the pitted Morello cherries over the top and gently press them into the batter.

Sprinkle the flaked almonds on top.

Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

Allow to cool in the tray before cutting into squares.

Dust with icing sugar before serving.
