Notes

A very common problem may arises when you make your cake batter adding a heavy fruit like cherry, the fruit tend to sink to the bottom of the pan during baking.To rectify this problem, instead of adding the cherries into cake batter,we have to mix it with flour. Mixing the cherries with flour helps stop them sinking to the bottom of the cake. And also before adding the cherries into flour,keep them  on a piece of paper towel to absorb the cherry juices.
