Rustic Cherry Almond Pound Cake

Soft and fluffy almond pound cake, studded with sweet, fresh cherries — just the thing for a summer afternoon tea. There’s something timeless about this kind of loaf. Golden at the edges, delicate in the middle, and full of flavour without ever trying too hard.

The ground almonds bring richness and a tender crumb, while the cherries burst through like little pools of summer. It's rustic in the best way — slightly cracked on top, fruit peeking through, and no icing needed. Just slice and serve. Maybe with a little whipped cream or a handful of toasted almonds, if you. . .
