Retro Recipe Maraschino cherry turban ( or loaf cake)

[Windigo]

Sorry I only know the metric system.

Ingredients:
200 g self raising flour
200 g white caster sugar
250 g butter
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
4 medium to small eggs
100 g maraschino cherries ( drained)

Makes enough for one 28 cm round turban or a 25 cm loaf tin.

Preheat oven on 160 degrees. Cream sugar with butter to a soft consistency. Add the eggs and vanilla essence, then gradually add the flour and a pinch of salt ( if you like it). When the mixture is smooth add the cherries, mix thoroughly and pour into tin.

Bake for 45 mins or until a pin comes out clean. Wait until the turban is truly cool and then present on a nice plate.

Don't use the fan oven for this by the way, just the regular oven. Fan might burn it.
