For the fruit
- 500g/1lb 2oz cherries

- 200g/7oz caster sugar

Method
-
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4 and have a small oven dish ready (about 25x20cm/10x8in or 2.6 litre/4½ pint).
-
Put the cherries into the base of the dish with the sugar, cinnamon, cornflour and salt. Mix well.
-
Now mix the cake ingredients. Put the sugar, flour, cocoa, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a bowl and combine.
-
Sprinkle the dry ingredients all over the fruit mix. Now drizzle over the melted butter and bake for 40–45 minutes.
-
I like to serve this piping hot, with dollops of chocolate ice cream and a drizzle of melted chocolate.
