Cherry tray bake

Soft, creamy and fruity – my favourite combination for a winning cake. Especially when it's as easy to make as this one! The juicy cherries go beautifully with the light cake mixture, which tastes delicious, despite being free from gluten, dairy and refined sugar. The coconut yoghurt cream and fresh, slightly crunchy cherries promise a taste of summer with every bite.
